casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court dismissed Bharat Singh's appeal against his conviction for murder under Sections 302/149 IPC. The court upheld the Sessions Judge and High Court's reliance on two eyewitness testimonies, finding no intrinsic inconsistencies despite the witnesses being adversarial to the accused, and rejected arguments regarding missing corroboration from police guards or other villagers. The court held that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellants formed an unlawful assembly and fatally shot the deceased during a field incident in 1977. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
