Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sewaka @ Ramsewak under Section 302 IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act, affirming the High Court's decision which reversed the Trial Court's acquittal. The Court found that the testimony of Gangashri (PW1), who identified the appellant and his co-accused during the commission of the crime, was credible and corroborated by medical evidence indicating a gunshot wound as the cause of death. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony in establishing guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
