RAM SINGH vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ram Singh under Section 301 read with Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, affirming the life sentence and five-year rigorous imprisonment imposed by the Sessions Court. The Court found sufficient evidence, including eyewitness accounts, to establish that Ram Singh, instigated by Lala Ram, fired a shot that resulted in the death of the informant's mother. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the conviction was rejected, confirming the lower court's findings and sentences.
