Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Bombay High Court's practice of summarily dismissing criminal appeals without providing reasons is inconsistent with Article 141 of the Constitution, which mandates adherence to Supreme Court precedents. The Court set aside the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal, directing that it be treated as admitted for regular hearing. The judgment emphasizes the necessity for the High Court to provide justifiable reasons when rejecting appeals, particularly when arguable points exist.
