Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court remitted the matter back to the Kerala High Court for reconsideration, emphasizing the need to align the decision with the principles established in State of Kerala v. P.V. Neelakandan (2005) and C.A. No. 2907 of 2005. The Court found that the High Court's dismissal of the appeal was not justified in light of these precedents. The appeal was disposed of with directions for a fresh hearing by the High Court.
