State Of Jammu & Kashmir vs S.Mohan Singh & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the acquittal of S. Mohan Singh by the High Court was erroneous, as the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical testimony, established his guilt under Section 302 IPC. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's case was corroborated by the medical evidence indicating that the injuries inflicted were sufficient to cause death. Consequently, the Court reversed the High Court's decision and upheld the trial court's conviction, sentencing S. Mohan Singh to life imprisonment.
