Case Summary: State of Punjab v. Shavinder Singh (Crl.A. 63-64/1996) The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Punjab's appeal against the High Court's acquittal of Shavinder Singh and Kashmir Singh on October 31, 2002. The respondents had been convicted under IPC Section 302 by the Sessions Judge in 1993 and sentenced to life imprisonment, but the High Court acquitted them due to contradictions between eyewitness testimony (claiming 12 feet distance) and medical evidence (indicating injuries from 9 inches range), along with ballistic expert findings negating the prosecution's weapon recovery case. The Court upheld the High Court's acquittal, finding no compelling reasons to interfere, and discharged all bail bonds.
