The appellant, Mansu Manjhi, was convicted under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code for the murder of Chandmani Manjhian. The prosecution's case was based on the testimony of the informant, Rooplal Manjhi, who claimed to be an eyewitness to the crime. The appellant's counsel argued that the prosecution's case was weak and that the informant's testimony was unreliable. The court considered the testimonies of the witnesses and the exhibits appended therewith. The appeal was against the judgment of conviction and order of sentence passed by the learned trial Court.
