We found no other Supreme Court judgment we hold that cites this one.
Counted only in the Supreme Court judgments we hold whose text we could read, not in High Court judgments. We match each citation to a judgment automatically, so a citation we cannot match is not counted. "Cited" says only that a judgment refers to this one, not whether it followed, distinguished or overruled it.

The State of Uttar Pradesh is in appeal against the Judgment of the High Court of Allahabad in Criminal Appeal No. 361/1996 dated November 29, 1999. The impugned Judgment reads as follows:- "Heard learned A.G.A. and perused the impugned judgment. After perusal of the judgment, we do not find any good ground to interfere with the impugned judgment challenged in this appeal. The leave

sought is refused, the appeal is accordingly rejected.
p. 30, margin A
Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned judgment, we are of the view that as the accused was acquitted charges under Sections 147, 148 and 302/149 IPC by the trial court, the High Court in appeal should have considered the merits of the case and recorded the reasons for its decision. The judgment quoted above is bereft or reasons and falls short of the requirements of a speaking order: A confirming judgment need consider the contentions urged before the court and record reasons for agreeing with the order under app!!al. We are therefore constrained to set aside the said judgment, restore the appeal to the file of the High Court and remit the case to the Higtr Court for fresh disposal in accordance with law.
