MAHADEO SAHNI vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the conviction under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC, emphasizing that while it typically refrains from re-evaluating evidence, it may do so to prevent miscarriage of justice. The Court found that the nature of injuries and eyewitness accounts did not support the claim for a lesser charge under Section 304 Part II IPC. Consequently, the Court upheld the conviction and sentence, affirming the lower court's decision.
