TORI SINGH vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

The Supreme Court held that the marks on the sketch map made by the Sub-Inspector based on witness statements were inadmissible under Section 162 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, and could not be used to challenge the eyewitness accounts. The Court affirmed the conviction of Tori Singh for murder, stating that despite acting under his father's instigation, he was a mature adult and had planned the act, thus the death sentence was appropriate. The appeal against the sentence was dismissed, upholding the lower court's ruling.
