Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal filed by Ramesan's legal representative against the High Court's dismissal of his criminal appeal concerning convictions under the Kerala Abkari Act. The court noted that the High Court had proceeded to decide the appeal on merits despite Ramesan's death, referencing Section 394 of the Cr.P.C. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the convictions and sentences imposed by the Additional Sessions Judge.
