Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, reversing the acquittal by the Sessions Court. The Court found that the High Court had correctly relied on the testimonies of eye-witnesses despite the trial court's concerns about contradictions and the credibility of evidence. The Court emphasized that minor discrepancies do not undermine the overall reliability of the prosecution's case, affirming the High Court's judgment and sentence of life imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 5,000.
