A Division Bench of the Rajasthan High Court at Jodhpur partly allowed the appeals of three policemen convicted by the Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track), Balotra, for the February 1994 illegal confinement, beating and castration of a Barmer man, who was locked in the barrack of Sadar Police Station, Barmer for four days while Rs 30-40 thousand was demanded for his release. The Court acquitted SHO and ASI of all charges, but maintained Constable Kishore Singh conviction for grievous hurt under Section 326 IPC, reducing the life term to the period already undergone (about four years) while enhancing the fine to Rs 1 lakh payable to the injured complainant, and altering his wrongful-confinement conviction from Section 343 to Section 342 IPC with one year rigorous imprisonment concurrent. The CBI had investigated the case and the Court held custodial punishment with enhanced fine sufficient on the totality of facts. [name withheld] and [name withheld] were acquitted in this judgment, but their acquittals were later set aside by the Supreme Court in the appeal covered by a companion record of this dataset, under which their final status is convicted.
