 "summary": "The trial court (CBI blinding case from Amarpur PS) convicted Officer-in-Charge Shiv Shankar Prasad Gupta for the custodial blinding of a Bhagalpur man (PW-1), arrested 20 June 1980 and blinded with acid at Amarpur Police Station on the morning of 21 June 1980 on Gupta's order, sentencing him to 2 years RI (120B) + 1 year RI (326/34) with fines plus a Section 220 conviction, while acquitting four constable co-accused. The lower appellate court dismissed his first appeal (Cr. App. 116/1987). The Patna High Court on 11 March 1998 dismissed his criminal revision, holding the finding that acid was poured on his order warranted no interference (the trial court had been 'rather lenient'). Exact trial-court name, trial number and conviction date were unstated in the revision judgment.",
 "court_quote": "I, therefore, find no merit in the case of Shiv Shankar Prasad Gupta (Cr. Rev. No. 851/1990) and that criminal revision is accordingly dismissed.",
