In Brief
In this criminal special leave petition, the accused challenged the High Court's order framing charges against them, questioning both the sanction and the merits regarding the sufficiency of evidence. The Supreme Court noted that while only the sanction issue was argued before it, the High Court had decided on both grounds. Finding that the case required full re-hearing with complete arguments from both counsel on all issues, the Court remitted the matter for fresh hearing after de-tagging it from other connected cases.
