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 nature of the injuries, established the accused's intent and participation in the crime. The appeal was allowed, and the life sentences were reinstated for the surviving accused.
