In Brief
Hanumant Dinkar Arjun appealed against a judgment in a murder case involving violations of the Indian Penal Code sections relating to obstruction of justice and police abuse. Rather than decide the appeal on its merits, the Supreme Court disposed of it procedurally, declining to hear it until a separate criminal appeal filed by the accused persons was resolved. The Court granted liberty to the appellant to renew his grievance after that appeal's outcome, while expressly declining to express any opinion on the substantive merits of the case.
