RAM KUMAR vs THE STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant Ram Kumar under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Balwant Singh, affirming the concurrent findings of fact by the lower courts that he was responsible for the fatal gunshot injury. The Court noted that the evidence of eyewitnesses, including Dalel Singh and Mansa Ram, was credible and corroborated the prosecution's case. The appeal was dismissed, and the life imprisonment sentence was maintained, along with a fine of Rs. 25,000 imposed by the High Court.
