Case History
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Sukhdev Yadav and others against their life sentence conviction for the December 1986 murder of Ramdeo Singh Mukhia in Bihar. The Court held that despite minor discrepancies in eyewitness testimony regarding the exact location of the occurrence, the core prosecution narrative—that the appellants surrounded the deceased and Rakesh Mandal fired at Sukhdev Yadav's command—was credible and trustworthy, and procedural lapses (non-production of seizure list, variation in witness accounts) did not materially prejudice the trial or undermine the conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
