RANDHIR SINGH vs STATE OF U.P. . — Crl.A. No. 1351/2006

The Supreme Court allowed Randhir Singh's appeal on March 21, 2007, quashing the High Court's direction for investigation against police officers in a police encounter case. The Trial Court had acquitted respondents of charges under IPC Sections 147-149, 307/149, 353, 323, 336, 325, and Arms Act Section 25; the High Court directed C.B.C.I.D. investigation into potential police misconduct, but the Supreme Court found this unjustified based on C.B.C.I.D.'s interim report confirming the encounter was genuine. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
