Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the conviction of Bhanwar Singh under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Kalu Singh, which was overturned by the High Court due to insufficient evidence. The Court noted that the prosecution failed to establish the credibility of key eyewitnesses and highlighted discrepancies between medical evidence and witness testimonies. Ultimately, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal, reinforcing the principle that conviction must be based on reliable and credible evidence.
