LALLU RAM AND ORS. vs STATE OF U.P. AND ANR.

The Supreme Court, under Article 136, held that it has the jurisdiction to call for further evidence when a life convict claims that the murder for which he was convicted never occurred, specifically if the alleged victim is alive. In this case, the Court found that the appellants were convicted for the murder of Kunwar Bahadur, who was later proven to be alive, thus dismissing their appeal for acquittal. The Court emphasized the need to prevent attempts to secure false acquittals through forgery and deceit.
