casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Daljit Singh and another, setting aside their convictions and sentences imposed by the Designated Court under IPC Sections 302/34 and 307, as well as under TADA 1987 Sections 3(3) and 4(1). The Court found the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt: the confessional statement was inadmissible (crime occurred under 1985 Act which lacked Section 15 provision), one eyewitness denied appellants' involvement, another turned hostile, and the third witness identified them only 15 years later without prior police identification. The appellants were acquitted of all charges and directed to be released immediately if not required in other cases. The State of Punjab was also directed to reimburse Rs. 2,000 to Presiding Officer C.D. Gupta (since superannuated) within four weeks via demand draft.
