JANARDAN REDDY AND OTHERS vs THE STATE OF HYDERABAD AND OTHERS.KULLURI YELLADU AND OTHE

The Supreme Court held that a writ under Article 32 cannot be granted for mere procedural irregularities, such as misjoinder of charges, as these can be corrected by appellate courts. The Court ruled that a Regulation allowing execution of death sentences by hanging had retrospective effect, affirming the legality of the sentence despite previous laws. The Court emphasized that the High Court's confirmation of the death sentence was valid, and thus, no relief could be granted to the accused under Article 32 of the Constitution.
