RAM LAXMAN vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants Ram Laxman and Sanjay alias Sanju under Section 302/149 and Section 148 IPC, affirming the life imprisonment sentence and fine imposed by the Rajasthan High Court. The Court found that the evidence against the appellants was consistent with the prosecution's case, which established their involvement in the murder of Hanuman. The acquittal of co-accused was deemed irrelevant to the appellants' conviction, as the evidence against them was distinct and compelling.
