casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Sangam Lal v. State of U.P. (Crl.A. No. 296/2002) On August 23, 2005, the Supreme Court allowed Sangam Lal's appeal and acquitted him of murder charges under Section 302 IPC. The Court found that while both Sangam Lal and co-accused Ghanshyam were responsible for victim Manorama Devi's death through Gandasa injuries, there was no evidence showing Sangam Lal alone delivered the fatal blow. Since the co-accused was already acquitted and Section 302 IPC could not be applied with Section 34 IPC (common intention) without a convicted co-conspirator, conviction could not stand. Sangam Lal was directed to be released forthwith unless required in another case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
