Case History
Case Summary: Sura Baraj v. State of Orissa Outcome: The Supreme Court partly allowed the appeals on April 27, 2004. Sura Baraj's life sentence for murder (Section 302 IPC) was upheld. Sura Parida's conviction under Section 307 IPC was upheld. However, convictions under Section 427/149 IPC were set aside for all appellants; some convictions under Section 326 IPC were reduced to Section 324 IPC with reduced sentences. Appellants Darasani, Narahari, and Chandermani Baraj were sentenced to time already served. Incident: A violent group assault occurred on August 12, 1984, in an Orissa village, resulting in one death and multiple injuries following a dispute over destroyed crops. The trial court acquitted all 15 accused, but the High Court reversed this, convicting them of various offenses.
