BHAGMAL . vs STATE OF M.P. — Crl.A. No. 1675/2008

Summary: The Supreme Court granted special leave to appeal and heard both sides in this criminal appeal by accused No. 6 and 11 against their life imprisonment conviction under Section 302 IPC. The Court found that the High Court had confirmed their conviction without providing them an opportunity to present their case, as none appeared on their behalf during the High Court hearing. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the matter back to the High Court for fresh disposal, directing it to provide due opportunity of hearing to the appellants or appoint an amicus curiae to represent them.
