Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of the deceased, rejecting the argument that the act was committed without premeditation or undue cruelty. The Court found that the medical evidence corroborated the ocular evidence, establishing that the injuries inflicted were sufficient to cause death. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment and sentence.
