“It will not be out of place to mention that in appeal or revisional
proceedings, the order of acquittal of the accused under Section
249-A or 265-K of the Cr.P.C. would not have the same sanctity as
orders of acquittal on merits. Consequently, the principles which are
to be observed and applied in setting aside concurrent findings of
acquittal or the principle relating to the presumption of double
innocence when an accused is acquitted after a full-fledged inquiry
and trial to acquittals under Section 249-A Cr.P.C. would not be
applicable.”
2005 SCMR 1544
