Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Selvamani Nadar, affirming the findings of the Madras High Court. The Court noted that the evidence from eyewitnesses was credible and established the motive, as the accused had a history of teasing the deceased's employees. The Court confirmed that the fatal injury was sufficient to cause death, thus maintaining the life sentence imposed by the trial court.
