Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Devkabai, based on eyewitness testimony from their minor sons. The Court found that the evidence presented was credible and sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The argument that the incident occurred during a sudden quarrel was rejected, affirming the lower court's ruling and maintaining the sentence imposed.
