Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Pradeep Singh under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the reliance on circumstantial evidence including the last seen theory and an extra-judicial confession made to PW-5. The Court found that the evidence presented, including the recovery of a blood-stained knife and the testimony of witnesses, was sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal against the High Court's confirmation of the conviction was dismissed.
