S. SUDERSHAN REDDY vs STATE OF A.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Khaja Saheb, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the case beyond reasonable doubt despite inconsistencies in witness testimonies, particularly noting the corroborative evidence from the post-mortem report and the confessional statements made by the accused. The Court emphasized that the presence of multiple stab wounds indicated a clear intention to kill, thus justifying the conviction under the relevant section of the IPC.
