JODRAJ SINGH vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Vishava Priya, affirming the findings of the lower courts which relied on the testimony of the first informant and other witnesses despite some turning hostile. The Court noted that the appellant was identified as having participated in the assault, and the argument regarding the deceased's criminal background did not negate the evidence presented. The Court concluded that the conviction was justified based on the credible evidence available, thereby dismissing the appeal.
