Case History
The Supreme Court dismissed Nagalla Mukha Lingam's appeal against his murder conviction under Section 302 IPC. The court upheld the High Court's affirmation of his life sentence, finding the testimony of five eyewitnesses (four injured witnesses) credible and reliable despite defense arguments about discrepancies in the location of the incident and injuries to defense party members, which the court reasoned were explainable given the free-for-all nature of the altercation.
