KRIPAL SINGH vs THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Yashwant, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the trial court's judgment. The Court noted that the conviction was primarily based on the testimony of the sole eyewitness, Sunil Kumar Goyal (PW-13), despite the appellant's argument regarding the lack of direct causation of death from his actions. The Court found that the evidence presented was sufficient to sustain the conviction, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
