Summary of Crl.A. No. 122/1998 (Sher Singh v. State of Haryana) The Supreme Court allowed the appeal on February 12, 2004, setting aside the convictions and sentences of five appellants who were convicted under Section 304 (Part-I) read with Section 149 IPC for an unlawful assembly assault resulting in death. The Court found critical infirmities in the prosecution case: contradictions regarding the occurrence location between prosecution claims and physical evidence (blood stains), significant variance between medical and ocular evidence, vague witness testimony, and unexplained delay in FIR lodging. The cumulative effect rendered the prosecution version fragile and insufficient to establish guilt. Bail bonds of accused on bail were cancelled. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
