STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs MAHARAJ SINGH

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of the accused in a murder case under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, holding that the evidence presented by eyewitnesses was credible and established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that the brutal attack on the deceased, resulting in his death due to head injuries, warranted conviction under Section 304 Part I IPC. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the Sessions Court's conviction and sentence of 10 years imprisonment for the accused.
