Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Rajbahadur Singh, affirming the Madhya Pradesh High Court's reversal of the trial court's acquittal. The Court found sufficient evidence, including eyewitness testimony and forensic findings, to establish that the appellant fired the fatal shot. The Court emphasized the importance of the FIR and the corroborative evidence presented, leading to the conclusion that the trial court had erred in its judgment.
