Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Himachal Pradesh High Court's acquittal of the accused under Section 302 IPC, emphasizing that the evidence presented established the accused's culpability in the murder of Manohar Lal. The Court held that the trial court's conviction was justified based on eyewitness accounts and the circumstances surrounding the incident. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the conviction and sentenced the accused accordingly.
