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 intent to kill and the use of a firearm in the commission of the crime. The Court emphasized that the presence of multiple eyewitnesses and the consistency of their testimonies were crucial in affirming the lower courts' findings. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentence was confirmed, reinforcing the principle that eyewitness accounts can be sufficient for conviction in murder cases.
