Two appellants, Dharampal (A-1) and Chanderpal (A-2), challenged their conviction by the Additional Sessions Judge, Nalagarh, District Solan, Himachal Pradesh, for the murder of Durgesh, a street-food vendor. The prosecution alleged that on the night of 20/21 September 2014, the accused lured the deceased to Bharatgarh on the pretext of a birthday party, consumed alcohol with him, killed him by striking his head with an iron rod, and disposed of his body in a canal. The case rested entirely on circumstantial evidence, including disclosure statements under Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act, recovery of certain articles, and call records. The Trial Court convicted both accused under Sections 302, 364, and 201 read with Section 34 IPC, sentencing them to life imprisonment plus fines, and the present criminal appeal before the Himachal Pradesh High Court challenges that conviction on multiple grounds including perversity of findings, inadmissibility of evidence, and failure to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment text provided covers the background, charges, and grounds of appeal but does not disclose the High Court's final decision.
