Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused-appellant under Sections 302, 201, and 506 IPC for the murder of his 15-day-old child. The Court found that the prosecution established the elements of the crime, including the intent and the act of throttling the child, as well as the subsequent concealment of the body. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, affirming the life sentence and fines imposed by the lower courts.
