Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sita Ram (A-2) under Sections 302 and 323 read with 34 IPC, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the Trial Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt through eyewitness testimonies and medical evidence indicating fatal injuries to the deceased, Mangal Singh. The appeal was dismissed as the High Court's affirmation of the conviction was deemed justified based on the evidence presented.
