Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Prabhu Dayal under Sections 302/149 IPC for murder, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the trial court's ruling. The Court noted that the prosecution established the presence of the accused at the crime scene and their involvement in the attack, despite the defense's argument regarding the lack of immediate identification by witnesses. The Court emphasized the sufficiency of circumstantial evidence and the consistency of witness testimonies in supporting the conviction.
