Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Munir Khan, finding that the evidence of eyewitness PW5 was credible despite the trial court's disbelief of PWs 6 and 8. The Court noted that the appellant intentionally crushed the deceased with his truck, establishing the requisite intent for murder. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, affirming the life sentence imposed by the High Court of Rajasthan.
