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 evidence presented, including the motive linked to ongoing civil litigation and the direct involvement of the accused in the murder of Brahmadeen Dubey, warranted conviction. The Court emphasized that the intent to kill was evident from the actions of the accused, who used a tractor to crush the victim. Consequently, the Supreme Court ordered the conviction of the accused, reversing the High Court's decision.
