Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal against a High Court judgment convicting Kalyan Singh under Section 302/34 IPC for murder, reversing a Trial Court's acquittal. The Court emphasized the importance of consistent witness testimony, noting contradictions in the statements regarding exhortation to commit the crime. Ultimately, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction, finding the Trial Court's conclusions to be perverse and contrary to the evidence presented.
