State Of Rajasthan vs Nana & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Rajasthan High Court erred in altering the conviction of respondent Nana from Section 302 IPC to Section 304 Part II IPC, emphasizing that the evidence presented by the prosecution was sufficient to uphold the conviction under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC. The Court reiterated that the presence of multiple assailants and the nature of the injuries inflicted warranted a conviction for murder rather than a lesser charge. The appeal was allowed, restoring the conviction and sentence of life imprisonment for Nana and the acquittal of Sawa and Bada was upheld.
