RAMJI SINGH vs STATE OF BIHAR — Crl.A. No. 1029/2000

Summary of Crl.A. No. 001029/2000 - Ramji Singh v. State of Bihar The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Ramji Singh and Ved Prakash Singh, upholding their life sentences for murdering Indradeo Singh in a property dispute (September 28, 1983). The Court found the eyewitness testimony of the victim's wife and two neighbors credible and corroborated by medical evidence showing fatal injuries. While the trial court failed to explicitly frame charges under IPC Section 34, the Court held conviction under Section 302/34 (murder with common intention) valid, as the sequence of events—continued assaults despite the wife's intervention, refusal to provide water to the dying victim—demonstrated the accused's pre-determined collective intent to kill rather than merely injure.
