Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kheraj Ram under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, two children, and brother-in-law, establishing that the prosecution proved the accused's motive stemming from suspicion of infidelity. The Court emphasized that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts and the circumstances surrounding the crime, sufficiently demonstrated the accused's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
