Allahabad High Court dismissed an appeal filed by a man in a 1987 murder case, noting that his counsel had not appeared during the hearing of his case. While HC dismissed the man’s appeal, the Apex Court, while resorting it, asked the High Court to consider taking it for hearing at an early date and also said that it was open for the High Court to appoint an amicus curiae to assist it when the petitioner was not represented before it through the lawyer in the matter.
