PREM SINGH vs THE STATE OF HARYANA THE STATE OF HARYANA SECRETARY — Crl.A. No. 1913/2009

Summary: Prem Singh v. State of Haryana (Crl.A. No. 001913/2009) The Supreme Court upheld Prem Singh's conviction for causing grievous injury and illegal firearm possession under IPC Sections 326, 324, and Arms Act Section 27, but substantially reduced his sentence. The incident, arising from a 1987 land dispute, occurred in February 1988 when Singh fired shots injuring the complainant and others. However, considering that over 30 years had passed, the appellant and complainant (family members) now live harmoniously, other co-accused were acquitted, and Singh is over 62 years old, the Court replaced the original 3-year imprisonment with time already served plus a ₹3 lakh fine, payable within 12 weeks or facing 3 months simple imprisonment in default.
