SAHAB SINGH AND OTHERS vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by enhancing the fine imposed on the appellants without providing them notice or an opportunity to be heard, as required under Sections 377, 386, 397, and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court clarified that while the High Court has the power to revise sentences, it must follow due process to avoid prejudice to the convicts. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order enhancing the fine was set aside.
