Moti Etc. vs State Of U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC read with Section 149 IPC for the murder of Ram Briksha, affirming the reliance on the testimonies of PWs 2 and 5 as credible evidence. The Court noted that the High Court's acquittal of the other accused was based on a lack of credible evidence against them, while the appellant's involvement was established through eyewitness accounts. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims regarding the medical evidence and the timing of the incident, thus confirming the life sentence imposed by the lower courts.
