Judgment text excerpt
The appellants challenged their convictions under Sections 302, 498A, and 201 of the IPC for the murder of a wife and infant daughter. The trial and High Court relied primarily on the testimony of a single witness, PW-3, who lodged the FIR. The legal issue concerns whether a conviction can be sustained based on the uncorroborated testimony of a sole eye-witness in the absence of other supporting evidence.
