DAULAT RAM @ DAULATI vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Daulat Ram @ Daulti under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 and Section 201 IPC for the murder of Zile Singh @ Prem Chand. The Court found that the prosecution established the guilt of the appellant beyond reasonable doubt, supported by eyewitness testimony and medical evidence indicating death by firearm injury. The appeal against the High Court's affirmation of the conviction was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that circumstantial evidence can suffice for a conviction when it forms a complete chain leading to the accused.
