Judge Not Post Office Of Prosecution, Must Apply Judicial Mind To Determine If Case For Trial Is Made : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court emphasized that a judge is not merely a "post office" of the prosecution but must apply judicial mind to ascertain whether a case is fit for trial. The Court ruled that it is the duty of the judge to evaluate the evidence presented and decide if there is sufficient ground to proceed with the trial, rather than simply accepting the prosecution's stance. This judgment serves as a reminder of the judiciary's critical role in safeguarding justice by ensuring that only those cases with merit proceed to trial.
