casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Crl.A. No. 001408/1999 Mohar Singh v. State of Punjab On October 10, 2001, the Supreme Court allowed Mohar Singh's appeal and set aside his conviction and life sentence for murder (Section 302 IPC). The Court found the prosecution's case—based entirely on an extra-judicial confession made 17 days after the incident and circumstantial evidence—unreliable, with critical gaps in the chain of evidence. The recovered ring was never identified by any witness. The appellant was ordered to be released forthwith unless required for another matter. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
