State Of U.P vs Mushtaq Alam

The Supreme Court examined the acquittal order by the Allahabad High Court concerning a conviction under Section 302 IPC for murder. The Court emphasized that the High Court erred in doubting the credibility of eyewitnesses PWs 1, 4, and 7, whose testimonies were found credible by the trial court. The Supreme Court held that the evidence presented was sufficient to uphold the conviction, thereby reversing the High Court's acquittal and reinstating the life sentence under Section 302 IPC.
