Kalu Ram & Anr vs State Of Delhi

The Supreme Court set aside the Delhi High Court's dismissal of the appellants' appeal regarding their conviction under Section 304 Part I IPC, holding that the High Court failed to independently examine the merits of the appeal and erroneously dismissed it based on the dismissal of a related Criminal Revision Petition. The Court emphasized that the dismissal of the informant's revision did not render the appellants' appeal meritless. The case was remanded to the High Court for fresh consideration on its merits, with a directive for expedited handling due to the appeal's age.
