Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Anjlus Dungdung under Section 302/120B IPC for the murder of Benedik Dungdung and his family, affirming the death penalty imposed by the trial court. The Court emphasized that while there was no direct evidence, the circumstantial evidence, including motive stemming from a land dispute, was sufficient to establish guilt. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the High Court's decision to uphold the conviction and sentence.
