Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the clarification sought in Crl. M.P. No. 10148 of 2013 regarding the dismissal of a previous petition without a hearing for the applicant, Ramphal, who was found guilty of illegal detention and torture as per the findings of a Commission of Enquiry and subsequent departmental proceedings. The Court acknowledged the procedural shortcomings in the earlier orders and allowed the applicant to file an appropriate application for redress. The ruling emphasizes the importance of a fair hearing under Article 21 of the Constitution, ensuring that no party is deprived of an opportunity to present their case.
