Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kanhai Prasad Chourasia under Section 302 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act, affirming the life imprisonment sentence. The Court found that the Additional Sessions Judge had sufficient evidence to convict him for murder, while the acquittal of the other four co-accused under Section 302 IPC was justified, as they were only convicted under Section 27 of the Arms Act. The Court dismissed the appeals of all accused, confirming the lower court's decisions.
