Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, and Section 27 of the Arms Act for illegal use of a firearm. The Court found that the appellant's claim of right to private defense was not credible, as he had initiated the violence by shooting at his father and brothers during a family altercation. The sentences of life imprisonment and additional terms for the other offenses were affirmed, emphasizing the gravity of the crimes committed.
