The High Court held it had jurisdiction under Section 323 CPC to revise the Sessions Court's prima facie finding; the Sessions Judge's acceptance of the prior written statements over the witnesses' in‑court testimony was perverse and amounted to a gross irregularity causing miscarriage of justice; accordingly the Sessions Court finding was set aside and replaced with an acquittal and discharge without calling the accused to enter their defence.
