KONDAVEETI SIVAIAH @ SIVA vs STATE OF A.P. — Crl.A. No. 828/2003

Summary: On 20 January 2004, the Supreme Court allowed Kondaveeti Sivaiah's criminal appeal against his Section 302 IPC conviction. The High Court had dismissed his earlier appeal without discussing prosecution evidence or providing reasons, violating statutory appellate procedure. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's impugned order and remitted the matter back to the High Court for fresh disposal on merit with proper hearing to both parties, requesting assignment to a different Bench.
