Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Murugan, affirming the findings of the Sessions Court and the High Court. The Court noted that the prosecution established the motive and the sequence of events leading to the murder, corroborated by eyewitness accounts and medical evidence detailing the injuries inflicted. The acquittal of the other two accused was justified as they were given the benefit of doubt due to insufficient evidence against them.
