Summary: State of Karnataka v. Ramanjanappa (Crl.A. 794-796/1996) The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Karnataka's appeals challenging the High Court's acquittal of 32 accused persons for murder under Section 302/149 IPC in connection with deaths of Chennappa and Honna Nanjaiah (February 16, 1987). The Court upheld the High Court's finding that prosecution eyewitness evidence was partisan, unnatural, and unreliable, and affirmed convictions of only five accused (A-1, A-2, A-20, A-30, A-33) for rioting and grievous hurt under Sections 147/148/326 IPC with sentences of 6 months to 7 years RI. The State's and appellants A-20 and A-33's appeals were dismissed as sound. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
