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 that the appellant was guilty of murder based on the eyewitness testimony of Gangashri. The Court noted that the prosecution's case was primarily supported by her account, which was credible despite the absence of corroborative evidence. The Court rejected the appellant's claims of false implication due to enmity, thereby confirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court.
