Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 302 and 394 IPC for the murder and robbery of the deceased, Dwarkabai. The Court found sufficient circumstantial evidence, including the last seen theory, recovery of stolen ornaments, and bloodstains linking the accused to the crime. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the life sentence and additional imprisonment for robbery as justified based on the evidence presented.
