Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's acquittal of the accused under Sections 302 and 34 IPC, establishing that the prosecution had successfully proven the intent to kill Brahmadeen Dubey, as evidenced by the coordinated attack involving a tractor. The Court emphasized that the act of running over the victim multiple times demonstrated a clear intention to commit murder. Consequently, the Supreme Court convicted the accused and upheld the trial court's decision, reinforcing the principle that intent can be inferred from the circumstances surrounding the act.
