casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Crl.A. No. 185-186/1999 - Naresh K. Mahto v. State of Bihar On 26 September 2001, the Supreme Court partially allowed the appeals. The Court confirmed the life sentence conviction of A-1 Naresh Kumar Mahto for the 1987 murder of 22-year-old Amit Kumar, finding sufficient circumstantial evidence including his hotel check-in, the threatening letter in his handwriting, and handwriting expert testimony. However, the Court acquitted A-2 Ranjeet Mahto and directed his immediate release, finding insufficient evidence to form a completed chain of guilt against him, particularly noting the trial court's procedural failure to put incriminating circumstances to him during Section 313 examination. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
