Yuvaraj v. State
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court suspended the petitioner's life sentence for murder pending the disposal of his appeal. The Court held the trial court erred in relying solely on denial under s.313 CrPC as a connecting link, as the prosecution failed to establish a complete chain of circumstances.
What did the court decide?
The substantive sentence of imprisonment was suspended; the petitioner is enlarged on bail with a bond of Rs.10,000/- and two sureties.
