Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals of Ram Babu (A-5) and Man Singh @ Mani (A-4) and Jagdish Upadhyay (A-2) against their conviction for robbery and causing injuries during a dacoity under Section 395 IPC. The Court upheld the findings of the lower courts, emphasizing the sufficiency of eyewitness testimony and the legality of the identification parade conducted under Section 9 of the Indian Evidence Act. The judgment reinforced the principle that corroborative evidence is not always necessary if the eyewitness accounts are credible and consistent.
