In Brief
In this criminal miscellaneous petition, the Supreme Court examined whether an order dated 09.02.2017 passed in the petitioner's absence should be recalled. Finding that the non-representation was neither deliberate nor intentional, the Court held that the order deserved to be recalled. Consequently, the petition was allowed, the impugned order was recalled, and the main matter was posted for fresh hearing and final disposal, ensuring the petitioner a fair opportunity to present their case.
