Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sampat Ram under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 147 IPC for unlawful assembly, affirming the trial court's findings despite the acquittal of co-accused Bheenvraj. The Court emphasized the sufficiency of evidence, including eyewitness accounts and medical testimony, to establish the guilt of Sampat Ram beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal against the High Court's acquittal of the other respondents was dismissed, maintaining the trial court's decision.
