Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of the deceased, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found the sole eyewitness, PW4, to be partly reliable, necessitating corroboration for his testimony, but ultimately concluded that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized the need for a cautious approach in evaluating eyewitness testimony, particularly in light of the enmity between the parties involved.
