SEKENDAR SHEIKH AND ANOTHER vs STATE OF WEST BENGAL

The Supreme Court held that evidence can corroborate charges for multiple offences, and an acquittal for one does not render that evidence inadmissible for another, as established under Section 467 IPC and Section 82(c) of the Indian Registration Act, 1908. The Court ruled that the trial judge's rejection of the jury's verdict was unjustified, emphasizing that the jury's view must prevail unless no reasonable jury could have reached that conclusion. The High Court's reliance on the evidence to convict under the IPC was upheld, affirming the conviction of the appellants.
