Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Dhanalakshmi, affirming the findings of the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The Court found that the evidence of child witnesses, PWs 2 and 3, was credible and corroborated by other witnesses, dismissing the appellant's claims of their unreliability. The Court held that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against the conviction and life sentence.
