Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of Subhash Sahebrao Deshmukh against the High Court's refusal to interfere with the Additional Sessions Judge's order, which set aside the dismissal of a complaint by the Special Metropolitan Magistrate. The court noted that the complainant's protest petition was not properly considered, as the appellant was not given notice in the revision application. Consequently, the court emphasized the necessity of adhering to procedural fairness and allowed the appeal, reinstating the dismissal of the complaint.
