Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kulesh Mondal under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Calcutta High Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the case beyond reasonable doubt through credible eyewitness testimony and corroborative evidence, including the post mortem report. The Court emphasized that the act was committed in furtherance of a common intention under Section 34 IPC, thus affirming the lower court's findings and dismissing the appeal.
