Gulam Kutbuddin @ Lal Babu @ Gulam ... vs State Of Jharkhand & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the Revisional Court's failure to issue notice to the appellants before setting aside the Trial Court's dismissal of a dowry harassment complaint violated principles of natural justice. Citing the precedent in P. Sundarrajan & Ors. v. R. Vidhya Sekar (2004) 13 SCC 472, the Court emphasized the necessity of providing an opportunity to the accused to defend themselves. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the case for a fresh decision, ensuring the appellants are heard in accordance with law.
