JAGDISH NARAIN vs KRISHNA

The Supreme Court held that the acquittal of the accused under Section 302 IPC by the High Court was erroneous as the Trial Court had established the prosecution's case beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the credibility of the evidence presented, noting that discrepancies alone do not warrant acquittal if the core facts are established. The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision and restored the convictions of the accused under Section 302 IPC and Section 34 IPC, affirming the life sentences imposed by the Trial Court.
