Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Chhotu Ram, establishing that the prosecution proved the appellant's intention to kill through eyewitness accounts and the use of a licensed firearm. The Court emphasized that the presence of motive and the sequence of events leading to the attack were critical in affirming the lower courts' decisions. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that intention and premeditation can be inferred from the circumstances surrounding the crime.
