Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Selvaraj (A-1) and Suseela (A-2) under Section 302/34 and Section 201 IPC for the murder of Seethalakshmi. The Court found that the evidence presented established a clear motive and a pattern of cruelty leading to the murder. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of their earlier appeals were rejected, affirming the life sentences imposed by the Sessions Court.
