Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Manish Dixit under Section 365 and Section 379 IPC for the abduction and murder of jeweller Gulshan Makhija, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court emphasized the sufficiency of circumstantial evidence, including the recovery of stolen ornaments and the testimony of the sole eyewitness, Michael Hens. The Court found that the prosecution had established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against conviction.
