ARULMANI vs STATE TR.INSP.OF POLICE

The Supreme Court set aside the order dated 18.3.2008 of the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court due to a violation of the principles of natural justice, as the hearing was preponed without notice to the appellant or his counsel. The Court remitted the matter back to the Madurai Bench, directing that the criminal appeals be heard after proper notice to the parties. The Court also requested the High Court to expedite the disposal of the appeals, considering the appellants' prolonged incarceration.
