Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the trial court's findings that the appellant, along with co-accused, attacked the deceased with weapons during a dispute over property. The Court noted that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts, established the appellant's involvement in the crime. The appeal was limited to the nature of the offence, and the Court found no grounds to interfere with the conviction or sentence imposed by the lower courts.
