Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's summary dismissal of the appellants' appeal under Section 147 IPC was improper as it raised serious and substantial points that warranted consideration. The Court emphasized that the High Court must indicate its views on such points to aid in any further appeal. Consequently, the Court admitted the appeal for the appellants, allowing for a joint consideration of all accused, as the case against them was closely linked to that of the co-accused whose appeal was admitted.
