STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs BHANWAR SINGH — Crl.A. No. 594/1999

Summary of Crl.A. No. 594/1999 - State of Rajasthan v. Bhanwar Singh The Supreme Court dismissed the State's appeal against Bhanwar Singh's acquittal by the High Court of Rajasthan. The trial court had convicted Singh under IPC Section 302 for the murder of Kalu Singh, but the High Court found the prosecution failed to establish guilt due to credibility issues with eyewitnesses, unexplained delay in filing the FIR, and medical evidence contradicting the ocular version. The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal, finding the combined effect of these infirmities sufficient to show the prosecution case was not proven.
