Case Summary: SLP(Crl) No. 002777/2000 Outcome: The Supreme Court quashed the criminal proceedings against Lakhan Sah and co-accused, disposing of the Special Leave Petition. The petitioners had challenged ongoing trial for an offense for which they were previously acquitted in G.R. Case No. 57/1983. Despite multiple opportunities (February 2, 2001 and March 23, 2001), the State's counsel failed to provide instructions to rebut the accused's assertions, leading the Court to accept their grievance as unrebutted and quash the proceedings.
