STATE OF PUNJAB vs GEORGE MASIH — Crl.A. No. 39/2008

Summary of Criminal Appeal No. 39 of 2008 The Supreme Court allowed the State of Punjab's appeal against George Masih's acquittal by the High Court. The trial court had convicted Masih under Section 304 (Part-II) for stabbing the deceased during an altercation, but the High Court reversed this conviction without providing reasoned judgment. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter back to the High Court for fresh consideration on merits with proper reasons.
