Case Summary: I.A.(Crl.)/416/2024 The Gauhati High Court dismissed an application seeking suspension of sentence for four appellants convicted of murdering a husband and wife based on suspicion they were witches. The court rejected the plea, noting that eyewitness evidence existed and the appeal's final hearing was scheduled for May 19, 2026, making premature suspension inappropriate at that stage. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
