MAHMOOD vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of three accused under Section 396 IPC for dacoity resulting in murder, affirming the lower courts' findings based on eyewitness testimony. The Court found that the identification of the accused was credible, as the informant had identified them shortly after the incident. However, the Court acquitted two accused, Mohd. Dara and Mokimuddin, due to insufficient evidence linking them to the crime, emphasizing the need for corroborative testimony beyond the informant's claims.
