RAMESH SHANKAR LANDAGE vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA — Crl.A. No. 1133/2007

The Supreme Court allowed Ramesh Shankar Landage's appeal against the High Court of Bombay's November 2006 judgment that had dismissed his criminal appeal. The Court found that no advocate appeared on behalf of the appellant during the High Court hearing, rendering the decision procedurally infirm. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh disposal with directions to appoint an Amicus Curiae if the appellant lacks representation, and the High Court was instructed to decide on merits independently without being influenced by Supreme Court observations.
