Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed Criminal Appeals No. 738 and 731 of 1983 concerning the acquittal of Mohinder Pal under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Dilbagh Singh. The Court held that the evidence presented by the prosecution was sufficient to establish the guilt of Mohinder Pal, who was directly involved in the assault, and thus overturned the High Court's acquittal. The Court reaffirmed the principles of criminal liability and the necessity of corroborative evidence in murder cases.
