Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sachchey Lal Tiwari under Section 302 IPC for the murder of two individuals, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Allahabad High Court after initially confirming a death sentence. The Court found that the prosecution established the case beyond reasonable doubt through eyewitness testimony and circumstantial evidence. The appeal by the State of Uttar Pradesh was dismissed, and the acquittal of Bachchey Lal Tiwari was also upheld, as insufficient evidence linked him to the crime.
