Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's acquittal of the respondents under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC, establishing that the prosecution had sufficiently proven the involvement of the accused in the murder of Mohan Singh. The Court emphasized that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, corroborated the charge of murder, thus holding that the High Court's decision was erroneous. The appeal was allowed, and the respondents were convicted under the relevant sections of the IPC.
