State Of Jammu & Kashmir & Ors vs Sanjeev Khajuria & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the impugned judgment dated 12.9.2005 and remitted the matter back to the High Court for the disposal of LPA (S) No.104/2005 along with LPA(SW) No. 30/2004 on merit. The Court emphasized the need for expeditious disposal of the case, preferably within three months, due to the prolonged pendency. The decision aims to rectify the anomalous position arising from the separate appeals filed by the State and private respondents.
