Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, confirming the life sentence imposed by the trial court. The Court noted that the High Court's earlier decision to allow the appeal was unreasoned and remitted the case for fresh disposal, ultimately leading to the reaffirmation of the conviction. The Court emphasized the sufficiency of evidence presented by the prosecution, including eyewitness accounts and forensic findings, to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt.
