Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 33 of 1998 (Askrit Singh v. State of Bihar) On 24 March 2004, the Supreme Court partially allowed the appeal. Askrit Singh and Gutuk Singh were acquitted of murder charges (Section 302/149 IPC) as there was insufficient evidence they knew co-accused carried deadly weapons or participated in killing Bhikhari Singh; their convictions under Sections 458 and 452 IPC remained unchanged. Chand Govind Singh's murder conviction was set aside and replaced with attempted murder (Section 307 IPC), having completed two years in jail satisfying sentencing requirements. All appellants' bail bonds were cancelled. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
