Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Vineet Kumar Chauhan under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Smt. Premwati, affirming the High Court's decision which found him guilty of causing her death through a gunshot wound that led to paralysis and subsequent complications. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical testimony, sufficiently established the causal link between the appellant's actions and the victim's death. The appeal was dismissed, and the life sentence was confirmed.
