ADYA SINGH vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act, confirming the findings of the lower courts. The Court found that the evidence of eye-witnesses was credible despite inconsistencies with medical evidence, as the post-mortem doctor was deemed to have attempted to assist the appellant. The Court concluded that the appellant caused the death of Mahinder Singh by firing a gun, and therefore dismissed the appeal and ordered the appellant to surrender to custody.
