RAM NIWAS vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ram Niwas under Sections 302 and 307 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which found sufficient evidence against him despite the acquittal of co-accused Raj Singh and Jog Raj. The Court emphasized that the credibility of witness statements does not negate the prosecution's case against an individual if the evidence is compelling. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the life sentence and fine imposed by the trial court.
