Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Ramdayal, his two wives, and other family members, establishing that the evidence of the appellant's actions and the circumstances surrounding the murders were sufficient to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that the appellant's deceitful conduct as a sorcerer and the subsequent murders demonstrated a clear intention to kill, thereby affirming the lower court's decision. The appeal was dismissed, and the conviction was maintained.
