casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court heard a Special Leave Petition by Shashi Kant Kumar, convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2019. The Court condoned the delay in filing and suspended the sentence, ordering his immediate release on bail pending final disposal of his criminal appeal at the High Court. The Court noted the case relies on circumstantial evidence, that petitioner has served nearly six years, and that his three co-accused have already been released on bail by the High Court. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
