Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order quashing the Sessions Judge's decision was invalid as the appellant was not granted a hearing, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized the necessity of a fair hearing under Article 21 of the Constitution. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the matter for fresh consideration, allowing the Criminal Appeal.
