Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, affirming the life sentence and fines imposed by the trial court. The Court found that the evidence, including the dying declaration of the injured witness, established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court was partially set aside, with the appeal of the co-accused being allowed while the appellant's conviction was confirmed.
