Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Devendra Raj Singhvi, affirming that the prosecution established the appellant's involvement in the crime through eyewitness accounts and circumstantial evidence. The Court clarified that the presence of the appellant at the scene and his instigation of his father to shoot the deceased constituted sufficient grounds for conviction. The appeal against the High Court's decision was dismissed, confirming the lower court's findings.
