(B) For the Bungling of the Case

The petitioner as the sessions judgement acquitted the accused persons charged under section  302  of the  Penal  Code  by a  Judgment and order, Informant preferred Criminal Revision in the High Court against the said acquittal- The Division Bench of The High Court Division made the rule absolute and commented "we are inclined to believe in this particular case that there have been  either  utter  negligence  or unholy alliance  amongst interested  persons for  giving the accused opposite parties acquittal"- Comments have been made in the  impugned judgment regarding petitioner  conduct of the trial of the sessions case which will prejudice him forever in future; contended by the learned Advocate of petitioner.

Held: We do not think that by the language employed by the Division Bench the learned Sessions Judge has been implicated in way for the bungling of the case.
