casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed the State of M.P.'s appeal against Gabbar Singh's acquittal on April 20, 2004. Respondent had been convicted of murder and dacoity (Sections 395, 397, 296 IPC) and sentenced to life imprisonment by the trial court, but the High Court set aside the conviction due to procedural irregularities. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, noting the unreliable identification parade, absence of recoveries from respondent, and respondent's name not appearing in the original FIR, thereby affirming the acquittal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
