Rajni Kumar vs Suresh Kumar Malhotra & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302, 147, and 148 IPC, affirming the High Court's reversal of the Sessions Judge's acquittal. The Court found that the prosecution established the presence of the sole eyewitness, PW-4, despite challenges regarding her credibility as a pardanashin lady. The Court emphasized that the formation of an unlawful assembly and the subsequent attack leading to the victim's death were adequately proven, thus confirming the life sentence imposed by the High Court.
