KALU RAM vs STATE OF DELHI

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the informant's Criminal Revision Petition does not render the appellants' appeal meritless, emphasizing the necessity for an independent examination of the appeal. The Court found that the High Court's summary dismissal without hearing the appellants' counsel was erroneous, violating principles of natural justice. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and directed it to reconsider the appellants' appeal on its merits, ensuring expeditious disposal.
