Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 79/2001 (Ajay v. State of Haryana) The Supreme Court granted leave and set aside the High Court's judgment against Ajay, who was convicted under IPC Sections 399 and 402 and sentenced to seven years (first count) and five years (second count) imprisonment. The High Court had reduced the first count to five years but Ajay's counsel was never heard—his advocates were not listed for the hearing date. The Court found the advocates' absence non-culpable and held that a criminal appeal depriving liberty requires proper hearing. The appeal was remitted to the High Court for fresh disposal with reasonable opportunity to the appellant and counsel; Ajay remains on bail pending the High Court's rehearing.
