In Brief
The Supreme Court allowed a criminal appeal against the High Court's dismissal of a revision petition. The appellants had been convicted by the Sessions Court of offences under IPC sections 323, 324, and 452 after the trial court had acquitted them. The High Court dismissed their revision petition without providing any reasons or engaging with the merits. The Supreme Court held that this was improper—courts must assign reasons and apply their judicial mind to factual and legal aspects. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the case for fresh decision on the merits, requesting completion within six months.
