casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Criminal Appeal No. 1247/1999 (Khem Chand v. State of Delhi) On 13 March 2001, the Supreme Court allowed Khem Chand's appeal and acquitted him of murder charges under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC. The Court found that Khem Chand's role—merely holding the victim—was identical to his co-accused Raju, who had been acquitted by a three-judge bench in 1997 for insufficient culpability under Section 34. The Court set aside his conviction and directed his immediate release from jail unless required in another case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
