Ram Singh vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 301 read with Section 302 IPC and Section 307 IPC, affirming the life sentence and five years rigorous imprisonment imposed by the Sessions Court. The Court found sufficient evidence, including eyewitness accounts, to establish the appellant's guilt in the murder of the informant's mother and the attempt to murder the informant.
