Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court erred in acquitting the accused under Sections 302 and 324 IPC, as the evidence of eyewitnesses was corroborated by medical evidence and the High Court's reasoning was found to be perverse. The Court restored the Trial Court's conviction, emphasizing that the names of the accused not being mentioned in the inquest report was not a valid ground for acquittal. The appeal was allowed, and the accused were directed to be taken into custody to serve their sentence.
