Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Prem Singh, affirming the findings of the Allahabad High Court. The Court found that the evidence of eyewitnesses, PWs 1 and 2, was credible and consistent, despite the appellant's claims of inconsistencies with medical evidence. The Court emphasized that the presence of enmity between the parties and the circumstances of the incident supported the conviction, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against the life sentence.
