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 and the Sessions Court. The Court noted that the evidence from eyewitnesses was credible and established the appellant's intent to kill, as he attacked the deceased with a stick after a history of enmity. The Court confirmed the life sentence imposed by the lower courts, emphasizing the sufficiency of the evidence to support the conviction.
