The Lalgarh Police had arrested Giri, a supporter of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), for his involvement in the killing of CPM supporter Snehasish Das on May 26, 2006. His family had accused Giri and three other JMM supporters of killing Das. They were arrested in June 2006. In 2007, the session court had awarded death sentence to Das. He later filed a petition challenging the verdict.
On Friday, the Bench observed that eyewitnesses in the case had been influenced. Thus, their statements could not be accepted, the court said.
