Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Ramulamma, who died after being set on fire. The Court found that the statements made by the deceased, recorded as Exhibits P.2 and P.5, were credible, with the latter reflecting her true account of the events leading to her death. The Court held that the trial and High Court correctly interpreted the evidence, affirming the life sentence imposed on the appellant, despite the defense's claims of influence on the deceased's statements.
