Atma Ram vs The State Of Rajasthan

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the trial proceedings in the case concerning the appellants convicted under Sections 147, 148, 302, 323, 452, 447, and 149 IPC. The Court held that the trial was fundamentally flawed due to the absence of the appellants during the recording of evidence, violating their right to a fair trial under Article 21 of the Constitution. Consequently, the Court set aside the convictions and sentences imposed by the Trial Court, including the death penalty, and ordered a retrial.
