Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Deo Narain against his conviction for murder under Section 302 IPC and other related offenses. The Court found that the evidence presented did not sufficiently establish Deo Narain's specific role in the attack, as the injuries to the deceased were attributed to other accused. The Court emphasized the importance of clear evidence in criminal cases, particularly in light of the admitted animosity between the parties, which raised doubts about the appellant's involvement.
