NETRAJ SINGH vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court set aside the Madhya Pradesh High Court's judgment that reversed the trial court's acquittal of the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC, due to the appellant being unrepresented at the hearing. The Court noted that the name of the newly appointed counsel was not reflected in the cause list, leading to prejudice against the appellant. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case.
