Ramvir & Ors vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Yashpal, affirming the trial court's finding that Ramvir inflicted a fatal knife wound while the other two appellants aided and abetted the crime under Section 34 IPC. The Court found that the prosecution established a clear motive linked to election rivalry and that the FIR was lodged promptly after the incident, countering the defense's claim of it being ante-timed. The Court confirmed the life imprisonment sentences for all appellants, emphasizing the sufficiency of eyewitness testimony and medical evidence in establishing guilt.
