Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Rajasthan High Court's judgment which acquitted certain accused of murder under Section 302 IPC while convicting others under Section 307 IPC. The Court held that the acquittal of Natthi, Karan Singh, and Ram Bharosi under Section 302/149 IPC was erroneous, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of evidence in murder cases. The Court reinstated the convictions and sentences imposed by the Additional Sessions Judge, thereby reversing the High Court's decision.
