Chinnaponnu vs State Of Tamil Nadu

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Madras High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal, which was based on the conviction under Section 304 Part II IPC. The Court noted that the appellant's counsel was not present during the hearing, which warranted a fresh hearing of the case. The judgment was set aside, and the matter was remitted to the High Court for re-evaluation without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case.
