Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 307 IPC for the murder of three family members and attempted murder of Mrs. Khanna. The Court found that the appellant's motive stemmed from being informed of his termination as a domestic servant due to his objectionable behavior. The death sentence was confirmed as the crime was deemed heinous and premeditated, with the Court emphasizing the need for deterrence in such brutal cases.
