casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Crl.A. No. 97/2001 - Nanda v. State of Rajasthan The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and acquitted appellants Nanda and Kedar on August 6, 2002. The Court set aside the High Court's conviction under IPC Sections 302/34 (life imprisonment), finding that the conviction rested improperly on hostile witness testimony that created definite suspicion rather than proof of guilt. The Court ruled the High Court committed manifest error by reading evidence into the testimonies that was not actually present. The accused-appellants were ordered released immediately unless wanted in other cases. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
