Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Ramakoti Reddy, establishing that the motive was rooted in sexual jealousy stemming from the deceased's relationship with A-2 and the influence of A-1. The Court emphasized that the prosecution successfully proved the presence of the accused at the crime scene and their involvement in the deceased's life, which led to the conclusion that the murder was premeditated. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
