What the Court ordered
For the reasons discussed, I have come to the conclusion that an accused, tried directly by the High Court by withdrawal of his case from a subordinate court, has a right of appeal to the Supreme Court under s. 374 of the Cr.P.C. The allegation of an infringement of Article 2 1 in such cases is. therefore. unfounded.
