Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Delhi High Court's order dismissing the appellant's Revision Petition due to the absence of representation, holding that the appellant's counsel's non-appearance was due to an accident. The Court emphasized the necessity for a fair hearing, stating that the matter should be remitted to the High Court for fresh disposal in accordance with law, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case. The judgment underscores the importance of representation in legal proceedings under Section 498A and Section 302 IPC.
