Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the High Court's decision which found the appellant guilty based on the testimonies of six eye witnesses, including injured witnesses. The Court noted that the prosecution's failure to explain injuries to the defense party was reasonable given the finding of a free fight. The Court also clarified that the exact location of the occurrence, whether in front of PW1's house or near Mallesu's house, did not undermine the prosecution's case.
