Summary of Crl.A. No. 538/2001 - Gajjan Singh v. State of Punjab The Supreme Court heard Gajjan Singh's appeal on 23 April 2001 challenging his conviction for the deaths of Chhinda Singh and Channo (his daughter) on 17 March 1993. The trial court had convicted him under Section 302 IPC and sentenced him to life imprisonment with a Rs. 2,000 fine on each count; the High Court had reduced the conviction to Section 304 Part-I IPC but maintained the life sentence. The Supreme Court upheld the Section 304 Part-I conviction but reduced the substantive sentence from life imprisonment to 10 years RI, while maintaining the fine and default imprisonment provisions, thereby partially allowing the appeal.
