Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the acquittal of the respondents by the Madhya Pradesh High Court, emphasizing that the prosecution had established a clear case under Section 302 IPC for murder, as the evidence demonstrated a premeditated attack on Tikaram involving multiple assailants who conspired to kill him. The Court held that the testimonies of eyewitnesses and the dying declaration of Tikaram were credible and corroborated, leading to the conclusion that the respondents were guilty of the charges. Consequently, the Supreme Court ordered the conviction of the respondents under Section 302 IPC, reversing the High Court's decision.
