Summary: Crl.A. No. 865/2001 – Upendra Mahto v. State of Bihar On 17 August 2001, the Supreme Court allowed Upendra Mahto's appeal, finding that the High Court of Patna had disposed of his earlier appeal (CRLA 407/89) without providing him reasonable opportunity of hearing. The appellant's senior counsel had died and the co-counsel's name was improperly listed, preventing representation at the High Court hearing. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the case for fresh disposal with proper hearing to both parties; the appellant was permitted to file a bail application before the High Court.
