Question

"In an appeal against acquittal, in the absence of perversity in the judgment and order, interference by the Supreme Court while exercising its extraordinary jurisdiction is not warranted." In 2011, in which case was this held by the Supreme Court?

A.

Ram Gupta v. State of Kerala

B.

Pratap Kumar Naik v. State of Orissa

C.

Pradip Nath v. Reena Nath

D.

Mrinal Das v. State of Tripura

Correct option is D


The correct answer is (d) Mrinal Das v. State of Tripura.
The Supreme Court in Mrinal Das v. State of Tripura held that in an appeal against acquittal, interference by the Court is not warranted unless there is clear perversity in the judgment or order. The ruling reinforces the principle that appellate Courts should exercise restraint when reviewing acquittals.
Information Booster
This principle is based on the idea that acquittal strengthens the presumption of innocence, and therefore, an appellate Court should be cautious before overturning such decisions unless there is a compelling reason.
Additional Knowledge
· Ram Gupta v. State of Kerala: Not related to this principle.
· Pratap Kumar Naik v. State of Orissa: Discusses other aspects of criminal law.
· Pradip Nath v. Reena Nath: Focuses on different legal issues.
