Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court held that a committal order dated 18-12-13 under Section 167(2) CrPC was a nullity. Although the defense counsel argued the accused was employed and voluntarily paid compensation, the failure of the accused's counsel to appear and the lack of enquiry into employment status rendered the order void. The matter was remanded for fresh proceedings.
What did the court decide?
The High Court remanded the matter to the Magistrate Court for fresh proceedings, quashing the previous committal order as a nullity.
