Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Hansraj, affirming the findings of the Trial Court and High Court. The Court noted that the prosecution established the case through credible evidence, including the recovery of a pistol under Section 27 of the Evidence Act, despite the defense's claims of fabricated evidence. The Court emphasized that the credibility of the evidence was not diminished by hostile witnesses, leading to the dismissal of the appeal and the affirmation of life imprisonment and additional sentences under the Arms Act.
