casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court's conviction judgment on jurisdictional grounds. The trial court had acquitted Ramjan Ali and others of Section 302/34 and 323 IPC charges, but a Single Judge of Gauhati High Court erroneously heard the appeal and convicted them to life imprisonment. The Supreme Court held that a Single Judge can only hear appeals where maximum sentence is 10 years; life imprisonment cases require a Division Bench. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh hearing by a Division Bench with opportunity to both parties.
