Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was improper as it did not address the merits of the case. The Court emphasized that the High Court must consider the application on its own merits, particularly in light of the non-bailable warrant issued against the appellant. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court was directed to expedite the hearing of the case, ensuring justice is served under the relevant provisions of the law.
