Chatar Pal and 2 Others v. State of U.P. and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court in a criminal revision allowed the Appellate Govt. Advocate's submissions. Citing Santosh, it held that the absent revisionist's non-appearance did not justify dismissal in default; the matter was decided on merit. The revision against a domestic violence conviction was dismissed for lack of illegality.
What did the court decide?
Revision dismissed; stay order vacated.
