RAMESH vs STATE OF M.P.. — Crl.A. No. 1995/2008

Summary of Crl.A. No. 001995/2008 (Ramesh v. State of M.P.) The Supreme Court allowed Ramesh's appeal on 8 December 2008, setting aside the High Court's 2 April 2007 order that had dismissed his writ appeal without merit examination solely because he failed to surrender despite directions. The Court noted that Ramesh had now surrendered (confirmed by Chief Judicial Magistrate Dewas report dated 3 January 2008) and restored his writ appeal before the High Court for disposal on merits, as Ramesh sought relief against his conviction for murder of Arjun Singh, claiming newspaper reports showed the alleged victim was alive.
