Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 981/1997 The Supreme Court allowed Premjeet Singh's appeal on 15 January 2004, setting aside the Madhya Pradesh High Court's conviction under Section 201 IPC (causing disappearance of evidence). Though Singh was acquitted of murder charges (Section 302 IPC) by the Sessions Judge, the High Court had partly allowed the State's appeal and convicted him under Section 201 IPC, imposing five years rigorous imprisonment. The Supreme Court found no concrete evidence or necessary ingredients to sustain the Section 201 conviction and held the High Court failed to properly consider the required legal elements. Singh's bail bonds were discharged. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
