The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 and Section 201 IPC for the murder of Noorbhai, confirming the lower court's findings. The Court established that the prosecution's reliance on the extra-judicial confession made by the appellant to a witness, along with circumstantial evidence, was sufficient to prove the guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
