TRIBHUWAN SINGH . vs STATE OF U.P. — Crl.A. No. 1125/2004

Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 001125/2004 Tribhuwan Singh & Anr. v. State of U.P. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on 13/04/2011 with modification of sentence. Tribhuwan Singh's appeal abated due to his death; Jagdish Singh's appeal alone proceeded. Arising from a 1977 incident where 21 accused were involved and two deaths occurred, the High Court had convicted the appellant under IPC Section 304 Part II with 5 years rigorous imprisonment for exceeding private defence rights. The Court reduced the sentence to 2 years RI, considering that 34 years had elapsed and the appellant was over 72 years old, thereby meeting the ends of justice.
