RAM KISHORE . vs STATE OF M.P. — Crl.A. No. 1471/2003

Summary of Crl.A. No. 1471/2003 (Ram Kishore v. State of M.P.) The Supreme Court dismissed the appellants' criminal appeal on February 19, 2004. The trial court had acquitted both appellants of murder charges under IPC Section 302, but the Madhya Pradesh High Court reversed this acquittal, convicting appellant No.1 under Section 302 (life imprisonment) and appellant No.2 under Section 304 with Section 34 (life imprisonment). The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction, finding the trial court's acquittal was perverse and that the High Court properly relied on three dying declarations in convicting the appellants. The appeal was dismissed with no grounds for interference established. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
