Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's judgment that had set aside the conviction of the respondents under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Ishwar Singh. The Court established that the prosecution had successfully proven the case against the respondents through eyewitness testimony and circumstantial evidence, affirming the trial court's findings. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the life imprisonment sentence for the respondents.
