Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Teja Singh, affirming the trial court's finding that the injury inflicted was sufficient to cause death. The court found the testimonies of eyewitnesses PW-2 and PW-3 credible and consistent, despite the defense's argument regarding the improbability of their presence at the flour mill due to a power outage. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentence of life imprisonment was confirmed.
