Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's acquittal of four individuals convicted under Sections 302 and 324 read with Section 34 IPC, citing significant discrepancies in the High Court's evaluation of evidence. The Court emphasized that the eyewitnesses' testimonies were corroborated by medical evidence and that the High Court erred in dismissing their credibility based on familial ties and the inquest report. The Court restored the Trial Court's convictions, cancelled the respondents' bail, and directed their immediate custody to serve the remaining sentence.
