Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the conviction under Section 302 IPC for murder was justified based on circumstantial evidence, despite the High Court's acquittal. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including the manner of death and the accused's behavior, pointed to guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision, reinstating the death sentence imposed by the trial court.
