OMBIR SINGH vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ombir Singh under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act, 1959, for the murder of Abhaiveer Singh Bhadoria. The Court found that the evidence, including the post-mortem report and testimonies of eyewitnesses, sufficiently established the appellant's guilt despite challenges regarding the reliability of the witnesses and delays in FIR registration under Section 157 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The life imprisonment sentence and fine imposed by the Trial Court were confirmed.
