Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellants' revision petition as barred by limitation without considering the merits of the case. The Court emphasized that in cases involving personal liberty, greater indulgence should be shown in applying the law of limitation, as outlined in Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court set aside the High Court's order and restored the revision petition for consideration on merits, allowing the appellants to remain on bail during the process.
