ARUN SHANKAR SHUKLA vs STATE OF U.P. . — Crl.A. No. 688/1999

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and quashed the High Court's order staying arrest warrants for convicted accused in a 1981 murder case. The Court held that the High Court improperly invoked Section 482 inherent powers to halt proceedings after conviction was pronounced, when the accused had a statutory right to appeal instead. The Court directed the trial court to proceed with sentencing and held the accused liable to surrender or be imprisoned.
