Suraj Singh vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's decision regarding the acquittal of the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Jagat Singh. The Court found that the discrepancies between ocular and medical evidence cited by the trial court were insufficient to warrant acquittal, emphasizing that the presence of multiple eyewitnesses and the nature of the injuries supported the prosecution's case. Consequently, the Court held that the appellant was guilty and set aside the acquittal, leading to a conviction under the relevant sections of the IPC.
