Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ganga Ram and Rajendra Singh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Tula Ram, affirming the Trial Court's decision after the High Court's acquittal was challenged by the State of U.P. The Court found that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts and the autopsy report, sufficiently established the intent and execution of the murder by the accused. The appeal was allowed, and the original conviction was reinstated, emphasizing the importance of witness protection in criminal proceedings.
