IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.5448 /2024 [@ SLP [CRL.] NO.12240/2023]
XYZ Appellant(s)
VERSUS
STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH & ORS. Respondent(s)
O R D E R
Leave granted.
The appeal has been predicated on the ground
that the appellant has not been heard and the
impugned order has been passed by the High Court
quashing the criminal proceedings initiated against
respondent Nos. 3 and 4 without assigning adequate
reasons.
A perusal of the impugned judgment would also
reveal that the submissions made by the learned
counsel for the appellant in this regard is in fact
correct.
In such view of the matter, we are inclined to
set aside the impugned order and remit the matter
back to the High Court for fresh consideration after
affording an opportunity of hearing to all the
parties concerned.
2
We expect the High Court to consider all the
submissions and, thereafter, pass a reasoned order
justifying its decision.
The appeal stands allowed accordingly.
Pending applications, if any, shall stand
disposed of.
