I.G. Singleton vs Emperor on 7 November, 1924

This aspect of the matter has been well discussed in a judgment of the Calcutta High Court delivered by Mr. Justice Mukerji in the case of I. G. Singleton v. The King-Emperor(2). The learned Judge has there pointed out the difference between the position as it obtains in India and that in England. The rule of English law as to the acquittal of an alleged conspirator following from the acquittal of the other when the conspiracy was said to be only between the two and in a joint trial of both is based upon a rule of practice and procedure, namely, that repugnancy or contradiction on the face of the record is a ground for annulling a conviction. But such a repugnancy is not by itself a sufficient ground for quashing a conviction in India where the matter is governed by statutory law both as to the offence and the procedure for bringing the offender to justice. In India there is no provision in the statutory law justifying an interference with a conviction on the (1) [1902] 2 K.B. 339.
