Judgment text excerpt

The appellant challenged a conviction under Section 302 of the IPC passed by the Allahabad High Court, which had reversed a trial court's acquittal. The prosecution alleged that the appellant shot a police constable who had apprehended a co-accused. The court examined whether the evidence supported the conviction for murder or if the trial court's initial acquittal was more justified.
