SURENDRA NARAIN vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Shree Prakash, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the failure to conduct an identification parade did not invalidate the eyewitness testimony, as the witnesses had identified the appellant prior to the parade. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's case was supported by multiple eyewitnesses and that the arguments regarding the absence of motive and the credibility of witnesses were insufficient to overturn the conviction.
