PRASHANT KUMAR vs STATE OF HARYANA TR.SECRETARY (HOME) — Crl.A. No. 2222/2010

Summary of Criminal Appeal No. 2222 of 2010 On 25 November 2010, the Supreme Court allowed the criminal appeals filed by accused Vijender Singh and Prashant Kumar against their conviction under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC and life sentences. The Court found the prosecution case based on circumstantial evidence unreliable, particularly discrediting the key witnesses (PW-3 Sultan Singh and PW-4 Vijender Singh, brother of the deceased) and noting no direct evidence of the accused committing the murder. Vijender Singh's bail bonds were discharged, and Prashant Kumar was ordered released immediately from jail if not required in any other case.
