Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Nanjamanni, by strangulation. The Court found that the prosecution established a clear case of homicide through the evidence of witnesses who observed the appellant's actions and the recovery of the nylon rope used in the crime. The Court rejected the High Court's doubts regarding the prosecution's case, affirming the Sessions Court's judgment and confirming the life sentence imposed on the appellant.
