casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court partially allowed the appeals, acquitting five of seven appellants (Shiva Shankar Pandey, Vijoy Shankar Pandey, Ram Keshwar Pandey, Awadesh Pandey, and Mithilesh Pandey) of murder charges. The Court found insufficient evidence to hold them liable under Section 149 IPC (unlawful assembly), finding the prosecution witnesses' claims about each appellant's specific weapons and presence were unreliable due to witness relationship bias and enmity. However, the Court upheld convictions of Ram Pravesh Pandey and Srinivas Pandey for murder, but altered their liability from Section 302 read with 149 IPC to Section 302 read with 34 IPC, as their active roles in exhorting the actual shooter (Dinesh Pandey) and fetching the firearm demonstrated shared common intention. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
