Judgment text excerpt
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 evidence, including the testimony of the complainant and medical reports, established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that the brutal nature of the crime warranted the death penalty, confirming the lower court's decision.
