Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 001290-001291/2005 Satyajit Hazari v. The State of Assam The Supreme Court allowed both criminal appeals on February 15, 2018, finding the trial and conviction fatally flawed because the alleged contraband was never produced before the court as a material object. The court rejected the prosecution's reliance on a Malkhana Register entry, holding it cannot substitute for actual production of evidence. Consequently, appellant Satyajit Hazari's bail bonds were discharged, and appellant Rabindra Singha was ordered released forthwith if not required in any other case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
