Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Alimat alias Aliul Zaman, affirming the findings of the Calcutta High Court. The Court noted that the testimonies of eyewitnesses PW-2 and PW-3 were credible and consistent, despite the appellant's claims regarding the delay in filing the FIR and lack of recovery of the weapon. The Court found that the evidence sufficiently established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
