'Shocking State of Affairs': Supreme Court Frees Man Who Spent 16 Years In Jail
News 18The Supreme Court recently called out the “shocking state of affairs” that led to a man suffering in jail for 16 years. A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih allowed an appeal filed by Virendra Kumar Chamar against the Allahabad High Court and Fast Track Court’s judgments, holding him guilty in the case. He stated that on June 20, 2005, his brother, deceased Harilal, was conversing with one Mohan Lal around 6:30 p.m. At that time, accused numbers 1 and 2, holding pistols in their hand, and the present appellant, holding a knife in his hand, came there with the intention of killing the deceased. He answered in the cross-examination that he had not seen the actual incident of accused numbers 1 and 2 firing bullets at the deceased and accused number 3 assaulting the deceased with a knife.
