PIARA SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB — Crl.A. No. 777/2003

Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 777/2003 - Piara Singh v. State of Punjab Outcome: The Supreme Court reduced Piara Singh's sentence from ten years to five years in each of two cases (total ten years imprisonment), treating him identically to his co-accused Sukhmander Singh whose sentence was similarly reduced in 2001. The Court set aside the fine sentence citing the appellant's poverty and the fact that he had already served approximately twelve years of imprisonment, and directed his release in both cases if not required in any other case.
