Case History
Case Summary: Subash Chander v. Krishan Lal (2001) The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of four accused persons—Krishan Lal, Vishnu, Bhanwari, and Prithvi—for the August 1992 massacre of Bhagwan Ram's family, which killed three members including an eyewitness to a prior murder. The Court confirmed life imprisonment sentences but rejected demands for death penalty, while acquitting eight co-accused for lack of evidence. Notably, the Court imposed a special condition that Krishan Lal (the primary perpetrator and leader) shall remain imprisoned for life without eligibility for commutation or premature release, citing the imminent danger he posed to surviving witnesses.
