Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order dated 28.10.2014 in Criminal Revision Petition No. 557 of 2012, restoring the case to the High Court for a fresh hearing on merits. The Court emphasized the need for speedy justice as a constitutional right and left the question of law regarding concurrent revisionary jurisdiction under Section 397 of the Cr.P.C. open for future consideration. The Court directed that the High Court should decide the matter expeditiously without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case.
