Summary of CRA-AS/84/2026 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed the appeal challenging the acquittal of Bhupinder Kaur and Harbir Singh in a caste-based atrocity case filed by complainant Nand Lal. The court found the prosecution's case unreliable, citing doubtful presence of witnesses at the incident location, unexplained three-day delay in filing the complaint despite the alleged occurrence in a public court complex, and the fact that the sole named eyewitness (Sukhmander Singh) refuted the allegations. The court upheld the trial court's acquittal, finding no prosecutorial evidence sufficient to prove charges under the Scheduled Castes/Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
