The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his two sons, affirming the death sentence imposed by the Gujarat High Court. The Court found that the prosecution had established the necessary elements of the crime, including the use of a sharp-edged weapon, and that the injuries inflicted were sufficient to cause death. The Court confirmed the death sentence, emphasizing the heinous nature of the crime and the need for deterrence in such cases.
