Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the findings of the Madras High Court which had dismissed the appellant's appeal against the Sessions Court's order. The Court noted the established enmity between the parties and the corroborative testimony of eyewitness PW-1, who identified the appellant as the assailant. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented was sufficient to sustain the conviction, thereby rejecting the appellant's claims of innocence.
