Habib vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Fakira, rejecting the appeals of Habib and Manuwa against the High Court's reversal of the trial court's acquittal. The Court emphasized that the High Court had correctly appreciated the evidence, including eyewitness accounts, and found that the trial court had erred in its acquittal. The Court affirmed the life sentences imposed by the High Court, establishing that the evidence presented was sufficient to sustain the convictions under Section 302 IPC and Section 34 IPC.
