In Brief
Ramji Singh and others appealed their conviction for murder under the Indian Penal Code. The Trial Court had acquitted them, but the High Court set aside this acquittal and convicted them. The appellants argued the Trial Court's view was reasonable and should not be disturbed. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the High Court was justified in interfering. The evidence of eye witnesses—despite minor variations in their testimony—remained credible and consistent with medical evidence of injuries. The Trial Court's overly technical approach could not disbelieve both witnesses. The conviction was upheld.
