Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302/34 IPC for murder, affirming the Rajasthan High Court's decision. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the motive related to familial disputes, sufficiently established the appellant's involvement. However, the Court noted that other accused were acquitted due to lack of identification and attribution of overt acts, emphasizing the necessity of clear evidence in murder cases.
