P.G.Sebastian & Anr vs State Of Kerala

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in enhancing the sentence of appellant No.1 without a challenge from the complainant or a rule for enhancement issued in the revision petition. The Court emphasized that the complainant's failure to challenge the appellate judgment and the joint petition for compounding the offence indicated that the High Court's actions were unjustified. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the orders of the Sessions Judge and the High Court were set aside.
