casestatus.in Summary

Summary: State of U.P. v. Virendra Prasad (Crl.A. 998/1997) The Supreme Court allowed the State's appeal, overturning the High Court's conviction reduction. Virendra Prasad fired seven bullets at police officials during a gambling den raid, killing ASI Gokaran Nath Pandey and injuring two others. The Court found the evidence clearly established murder under IPC Section 302, rejecting the High Court's downgrade to Section 304 Part II (culpable homicide). The accused's conviction and original trial sentence were restored, requiring him to surrender and serve the remaining sentence imposed by the trial court.
