Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302 IPC, affirming the finding of the Allahabad High Court that the appellant, Rambali Singh, was guilty of murdering the deceased, Prem Singh, in a premeditated attack. The Court found that the evidence provided by eyewitnesses was credible and sufficient to establish the guilt of the appellant despite the acquittal of the co-accused. The Court rejected the arguments regarding inconsistencies in medical evidence and the absence of forensic testing, affirming the lower court's reliance on eyewitness testimony.
