Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal challenging the Bombay High Court's dismissal of a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. regarding a criminal complaint for theft under Section 379 IPC. The Court held that the withdrawal of the Criminal Revision Application by the appellant was done without his consent, thus invalidating the proceedings. The Court emphasized the need for proper legal representation and the right to challenge orders affecting one's liberty, ultimately allowing the appeal and setting aside the High Court's order.
