Rohtas & Anr vs State of Haryana

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

In this criminal appeal, the appellants challenged their conviction for assault inflicting knife blows on a victim near a government hospital. The Supreme Court upheld the concurrent findings of guilt recorded by the trial and appellate courts based on eye-witness evidence. The Court rejected the appellants' argument that absence of prior enmity warranted reversal of conviction, holding such absence cannot overturn concurrent judicial findings. The appeal was dismissed, bail bonds cancelled, and the appellants directed to surrender within four weeks.
