Guman Singh vs The State Of Rajasthan

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Guman Singh under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 307 IPC for attempt to murder, affirming the life sentence and fines imposed by the High Court. The Court found the testimonies of the eyewitnesses, Tara Singh and Varun Singh, to be unreliable due to inconsistencies with the Investigating Officer's account, particularly regarding their presence at the crime scene. The Court emphasized the necessity of corroborative evidence in criminal cases, leading to the conclusion that the prosecution's case was not sufficiently proven beyond reasonable doubt.
