https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=190278 Section 401 CrPC confers limited revisional power, and a High Court cannot re-appreciate evidence to upset an acquittal at the instance of a private complainant unless there is manifest illegality, procedural infirmity, or gross miscarriage of justice. Section 401(3) bars converting an acquittal into a conviction, and that restriction also prevents an indirect equivalent by ordering retrial after a merits-based re-evaluation of the evidence. A mere different view of witness credibility or evidentiary weight is insufficient. Revisional interference with acquittal remains exceptional, and the retrial order was therefore unsustainable. en-us Tue, 13 Aug 2002 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 16:56:25 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=190278 Section 401 CrPC confers limited revisional power, and a High Court cannot re-appreciate evidence to upset an acquittal at the instance of a private complainant unless there is manifest illegality, procedural infirmity, or gross miscarriage of justice.
