Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 201 IPC for the murder of his daughters, affirming the trial court's findings that the appellant conspired with his mother to kill the children due to dissatisfaction with having daughters. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the appellant's intent and actions leading to the murders, including an extra-judicial confession. The sentence of life imprisonment and fines were confirmed, with the Court ruling that the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction.
