Judgment text excerpt

The appeal challenges a conviction under Section 302 read with Section 34 of the IPC for the murder of Deviya. The Supreme Court scrutinized the reliability of the primary witness (PW 2), noting contradictions between the witness's alleged severe injuries requiring hospitalization and his subsequent conduct. The court focused on whether the prosecution's case was proven beyond reasonable doubt based on the credibility of the evidence presented.
