Case History
Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 849/2000 On 21 November 2006, the Supreme Court allowed Surajbhan Singh's appeal, setting aside his conviction under Section 494 IPC (bigamy) and one-year rigorous imprisonment imposed by the High Court. The Court accepted a settlement between the parties: the appellant paid Rs. 1 lakh to respondent Gopal Singh as permanent alimony, and a mutual consent divorce decree was granted by transferring the pending Family Court suit to the Supreme Court. The appellant was discharged from bail bonds and freed from all maintenance obligations. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
