MD.SHAKEEL vs STATE POLICE TR.P.S.HANMAKONDA

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellant's revision petition by the Andhra Pradesh High Court under Section 397 read with Section 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was improper as it failed to analyze the merits of the case, particularly the relevance of the dying declaration recorded on 21.10.1998. The Court emphasized that the High Court's lack of reasoning and abrupt conclusion rendered the judgment unsatisfactory. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the case for fresh consideration.
