Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Girdhari under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Kalu Ram Bhagat, affirming the life imprisonment sentence. The Court noted that the acquittal of Ram Karan and others was justified due to lack of identification by witnesses. The judgment emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in murder cases, particularly when multiple accused are involved, and clarified that the prosecution's case against Girdhari was sufficiently substantiated by the recovery of the murder weapon and the conspiracy established among the accused.
