K.S. Kalinga Rayan @ Kalingaraju vs State Rep. By The Inspector Of Police

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment in Criminal Appeal No.805/2011, emphasizing the necessity for the appellant to be given an opportunity to present his defense, which was overlooked due to his absence during the hearing. The Court held that the High Court must hear the case afresh, ensuring justice is served, while imposing a cost of Rs.25,000 to be paid to a government-run school. The interim order of suspension from the High Court was also revived until the appeal is resolved.
