Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC, affirming that the evidence presented by the prosecution sufficiently established the guilt of the accused in the murder of Buddhi. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness accounts and the consistency of testimonies in establishing the sequence of events leading to the crime. The appeal by the State of U.P. was allowed, reversing the acquittal by the Allahabad High Court and restoring the conviction of the accused.
