Recent court cases in India have led to the sentencing of a private citizen for a domestic killing and a former police officer for a disappearance that happened decades ago.

近期印度的幾起法院案件，導致一名私人公民因家庭謀殺被判刑，一名原警察則因數十年前發生的失蹤案被判刑。

In Madhya Pradesh, the High Court changed the sentence for Shiva Kahar, who was convicted of killing his pregnant wife in 2021. The judges decided that the crime was not planned, as the defendant used a stone found nearby and reported himself to the police. Furthermore, the court emphasized that the husband acted under 'sudden and grave provocation' after the victim made insulting remarks about him. Consequently, his legal charge was changed, and his penalty was reduced from life imprisonment to seven years in prison.

在中央邦，高等法院更改了 Shiva Kahar 的判刑，他於 2021 年被裁定殺害懷孕的妻子。法官認定該罪行並非預謀，因為被告使用的是附近發現的石頭，且已向警方自首。此外，法院強調丈夫是在受害者對其發表侮辱性言論後，處於「突然且嚴重之挑釁」下採取行動。因此，他的法律指控被更改，刑期從終身監禁減至七年有期徒刑。

At the same time, a CBI court finished its trial against Kashmir Singh, a retired police officer from Punjab, regarding the 1991 abduction of Baljit Singh. Although the CBI did not initially charge him, the court called Singh to trial after the victim's spouse filed a petition. The case involved the illegal detention of the victim at a police station, after which he disappeared. This decision follows the 2023 conviction of three other officers, although the process was complicated by the deaths of the original complainant and another accused officer.

與此同時，一家 CBI 法院完成了對旁遮普邦退休警察 Kashmir Singh 關於 1991 年 Baljit Singh 被綁架案的審理。雖然 CBI 最初並未起訴他，但在受害者配偶提交請願書後，法院傳喚 Singh 出庭審理。該案涉及受害者在警察局被非法拘禁，隨後失蹤。此裁定是在 2023 年另外三名警官被定罪後做出的，儘管由於原投訴人及另一名被告警官去世，導致程序變得複雜。

Both cases ended with prison sentences, showing how the courts interpret provocation in domestic violence and how they hold police officers accountable for past misconduct.

兩起案件均以監禁 sentence 告終，顯示了法院如何解釋家庭暴力中的挑釁，以及如何要求警察為過去的違法行為負責。
