Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Mangal Singh, affirming the High Court's decision which found the eyewitness testimonies credible despite the appellant's claims of bias due to familial disputes. The Court noted that the prosecution established the guilt of the accused through consistent eyewitness accounts and medical evidence, rejecting the defense's arguments regarding the reliability of the witnesses. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the life sentence imposed by the trial court.
