Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Sumer Singh, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Rajasthan High Court. The Court emphasized that oral evidence from eyewitnesses holds primacy over medical evidence unless the latter conclusively contradicts the former. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims regarding inconsistencies between the eyewitness accounts and medical evidence, thereby affirming the lower courts' findings.
