O R D E R
1. Leave granted.
2. Despite service of notice, the respondent has not chosen to enter appearance before this Court.
3. Challenge in this appeal is to the judgment and order dated 11.07.2025 passed by the High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru in Criminal Appeal No. 106/2013 (A). Perusal of the impugned judgment/order reflects total non-application of mind, as we find in paragraph 9 thereof that the facts of some other case have been referred to in the context of one Krishnappa Manjunatha , who is not a party to the present case.
4. The impugned judgment/order is, accordingly, set aside. Criminal Appeal No. 106/2013(A) shall stand restored to the file of the High Court for consideration afresh on merits and in accordance with law.
