casestatus.in Summary

Summary: State of U.P. v. Ram Singh (Crl.A. No. 955/1997) The Supreme Court dismissed the State of U.P.'s appeal challenging the High Court of Allahabad's acquittal of Ram Singh and others, who were originally convicted of murder under Section 302 IPC in connection with the 1978 killing of Surendra Kumar. The High Court had rejected the eyewitness testimony of three prosecution witnesses, finding inconsistencies between their oral evidence and medical findings regarding semi-digested food in the deceased's stomach, and doubting their presence at the incident site. The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal, finding no reason to interfere with the High Court's findings that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.
