Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Lakshmi, confirming the findings of the Sessions Court and the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The Court found sufficient evidence from eyewitness PW 3, despite the appellant's claims regarding visibility conditions at the time of the incident. The Court concluded that the evidence presented was credible and supported by the recovery of the murder weapon, thus dismissing the appeal.
