  3. According to Section 405, the High Court certifies its decision to the District Court, which originally passed the sentence.
  4. The District Court receives the certified decision from the High Court.
  5. The District Court then makes an order conforming to the High Court's decision, which means it officially records Rajesh's acquittal and amends the court records to reflect this change.
