casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Crl.A. No. 10 of 1999 (Ghota alias Ghatu Ghosh v. State of West Bengal) Outcome & Direction: The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the case for fresh hearing. The Court found that the High Court's disposal was procedurally flawed because the appellants' counsel was not effectively heard—the respondent's counsel withdrew mid-hearing without proper representation for the accused. The Court emphasized that effective justice requires both parties be heard, and directed the High Court to rehear the appeal after both parties appear on July 7, 2004. The appellants were enlarged on bail by the Supreme Court, with bail continuance to be decided by the High Court. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
