The High Court had earlier dismissed the appeal, prompting a civil appeal. The Supreme Court condoned the delay in filing the appeal and granted leave to proceed. It held that the issues raised were already decided in the earlier judgment of Manmohan Sharma v. State of Rajasthan & Ors., and therefore disposed of the present appeals on the same terms, ordering each party to bear its own costs.
