Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's acquittal of the accused under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 307, and 504 IPC, establishing that the prosecution had sufficiently proven the charges against the accused. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the corroborative medical evidence linking the accused to the crime. The judgment reinstated the convictions and sentences imposed by the trial court, thereby affirming the rule of law in cases of violent crime.
