Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of the respondents, who were convicted under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Raj Karan. The Court found that the High Court's judgment was based on conjectures and ignored reliable evidence, leading to a miscarriage of justice. The Supreme Court reinstated the trial court's conviction and sentence of life imprisonment and a fine, emphasizing the importance of credible witness testimony in establishing guilt.
