Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 392 read with Section 397 IPC for robbery and under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for murder, affirming a life sentence and a fine of Rs. 10,000 with an additional two years of rigorous imprisonment for default. The Court found that the evidence presented, including the eyewitness account of Mane Ram (PW-8), sufficiently established the appellant's involvement in the robbery and murder of Raghbir Singh. The concurrent sentences were deemed appropriate given the gravity of the offenses committed.
