Johar And Others vs Mangal Prasad And Another

The Supreme Court addressed the conviction of the appellants under Section 323 read with Section 34 IPC, while the High Court found that the trial court erred in acquitting them of murder charges under Sections 148 and 302 IPC. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony over the incomplete post-mortem report, asserting that the evidence indicated a clear intention to cause death, thus remanding the case for a proper judgment on the murder charges.
