BUDH SINGH vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming that the evidence, including ballistic reports and eyewitness testimonies, sufficiently established his guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court noted that the appellant fired the fatal shot from a gun that was traced back to him, and the High Court's decision to overturn the acquittal of a co-accused was also validated. The judgment reinforced the principle that circumstantial evidence, when corroborated, can lead to a conviction in murder cases.
