U.J.S. CHOPRA vs STATE OF BOMBAY.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 439(6) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, an accused has the right to show cause against their conviction even after a summary dismissal of their appeal. The Court clarified that the summary dismissal does not preclude the accused from contesting the conviction when the State seeks enhancement of the sentence. It emphasized that the High Court has a duty to consider appeals or revisions, regardless of whether they are summarily dismissed or heard with notice.
