ARVIND VERMA vs DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE . — Crl.A. No. 1177/2001

Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 001177/2001 (Arvind Verma v. Director General of Police) Outcome: The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal and set aside the High Court's dismissal order. The Court found the High Court's decision "too technical" in rejecting the second habeas corpus petition as having the same cause of action as the first (dismissed in default). The Court held that fresh events were pleaded in the second petition and no merits adjudication occurred in the first dismissal. Direction: The writ petition is restored before the High Court for hearing and decision on merits, including all pleas on maintainability raised by respondents. The concurrent writ petition (No.113/2001) was dismissed as withdrawn. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
