Madhu Limaye vs The State Of Maharashtra on 31 October, 1977
"21. The concept of an intermediate order was further
elucidated in Madhu Limaye v. State of Maharashtra
(1977) 4 SCC 551 : 1978 SCC (Cri) 10] by
contradistinguishing a final order and an interlocutory
order. This decision lays down the principle that an
intermediate order is one which is interlocutory in
nature but when reversed, it has the effect of
terminating the proceedings and thereby resulting in a
final order. Two such intermediate orders immediately
come to mind--an order taking cognizance of an
offence and summoning an accused and an order for
framing charges. Prima facie these orders are
interlocutory in nature, but when an order taking
cognizance and summoning an accused is reversed, it
has the effect of terminating the proceedings against
that person resulting in a final order in his or her
favour. Similarly, an order for framing of charges if
reversed has the effect of discharging the accused
person and resulting in a final order in his or her favour.
