SHYAM BABU vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's decision that had set aside the acquittal of the accused in a case involving multiple homicides. The Court emphasized the application of Section 302 IPC, establishing that the evidence presented was sufficient to prove the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court held that the acquittal was erroneous and reinstated the conviction of the accused for murder, leading to their sentencing under the relevant sections of the IPC.
