Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's dismissal of Criminal Revision No.1622 of 1989, which was decided ex-parte due to the appellant's non-appearance. The Court held that the dismissal was inappropriate given the circumstances of non-representation and remitted the matter back to the High Court for fresh consideration on merits. The order emphasized the need for a fair hearing, setting a date for the parties to appear before the High Court.
