KISHORI vs STATE OF DELHI

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kishori under Sections 302 IPC and 149 IPC for his involvement in the murder of Sajjan Singh and others during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The Court found that the evidence presented, particularly the eyewitness accounts, was credible and sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused. The death sentence for Kishori was confirmed, while the acquittal of Dull Chand and Mohd. Abbas by the High Court was upheld, emphasizing the need for careful scrutiny of evidence in mob violence cases.
