Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 481/2005 - Siri Niwas Pandey v. State of Punjab The Supreme Court dismissed Siri Niwas Pandey's criminal appeal on April 18, 2006. Pandey and co-accused Deepak Pandey were initially acquitted by the trial court, but the Punjab High Court reversed Pandey's acquittal, finding it suffered from perversity, and convicted him under Section 302 IPC (murder) with life imprisonment and ₹20,000 fine. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's reversal, relying on consistent testimony from two eye-witnesses (Baij Nath and Pran Nath) corroborated by medical evidence, concluding the High Court was justified in reversing the acquittal and convicting Pandey.
