was false. 11. Considering the above discussion, it is evident that the6 Sessions Court could not have overturned the order of acquittal. The High Court while confirming the order of the Sessions Court has not even considered the fact that the Sessions Court has not recorded a finding that ingredients of the offences were established. Therefore, the appeal must succeed. Judgment and order dated 21st January, 2015 passed by the Learned VII Additional District and Sessions Judge, Belgaum in Criminal Appeal No.2/2014 and judgment and order dated 11th August, 2015 passed by the High Court in Criminal Revision Petition No.100045/2015 are hereby set aside, and the judgment of the learned Magistrate dated 26th August, 2023 in CC No.374/2005 is hereby restored. 12. The Appeal is accordingly allowed. 13. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. ..........................J. (ABHAY S.OKA) ..........................J.
