Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for murder and Section 323 read with Section 34 IPC for causing injuries. The Court clarified that the evidence established a clear case of murder rather than culpable homicide not amounting to murder, as the injuries inflicted were severe and resulted in death. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the life sentence and concurrent sentences imposed by the lower courts.
