GULAB MURALIDHAR DABHOLE . vs GORAKH NIMBA SHIRSAT . — Crl.A. No. 176/2002

Summary of Crl.A. No. 176/2002 (Gulab Muralidhar Dabhole v. Gorakh Nimba Shirsat) The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court's revisional order that had interfered with the Sessions Judge's acquittal order. The Court held that the High Court exceeded its revisional jurisdiction by re-appreciating evidence and directing reconsideration, which is impermissible—the High Court can only interfere in revision for glaring procedural defects or manifest errors of law causing flagrant miscarriage of justice, not to re-examine evidence. The Sessions Judge's acquittal order was accordingly affirmed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
