Judgment text as reported

RAMESH KUMAR VS State S. 265-K---Power of Court to acquit accused at any stage---Scope---Purpose of provision of S.265-K, Cr.P.C., is very much clear and it never prevents a court from acquitting an accused at any stage of the case---If, after hearing the prosecution and the accused and for the reason to be recorded, the court considers that there is no probability of the accused being convicted of the offence alleged against them no legal embargo for exercising of powers conferred under the said section, but even then the court cannot deprive the prosecution by giving an opportunity to produce tangible evidence under the garb of S.265-K, Cr.P.C.---Mandatory for the court that such discretion must be based on reasons exercised with due care and caution with sole object to prevent fruitless trial when it is apparent from the record that there is no probability of the accused being convicted of the offence.
