Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the High Court's decision based on the credible eyewitness testimony of Smt. Chandrabhagabai (P.W.4) and corroborative medical evidence. The Court found no merit in the defense's claim of insanity due to lack of supporting evidence. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, maintaining the life sentence and fine imposed by the Trial Court.
