CHANDRABHAN SINGH vs STATE OF M.P.. — Crl.A. No. 644/2009

Summary: The Supreme Court reduced Chandrabhan Singh's sentence from three years rigorous imprisonment to one year under Section 436 IPC (arson) for setting fire to the informant's "tapra" (hut). Since the appellant had already completed one year of imprisonment, the Court discharged him from his bail bonds. The appeal was disposed of with this modification to the High Court's sentencing order. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
