Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of Rajinder under Section 302 IPC, stating that the evidence presented did not substantiate his involvement in the murder of Lachhman. The Court noted that the Sessions Court's conviction was based on the testimony of a witness who claimed Rajinder was present and attacked the deceased, but the High Court found no corroborating injuries on the deceased consistent with this claim. The Court concluded that the High Court's findings were not erroneous and thus dismissed the appeal by the State of Haryana.
