Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Gulab Mehata, rejecting the argument that the circumstances of the shooting were unclear and that the appellant was not identified as the shooter. The Court noted that the evidence presented established the appellant's presence at the crime scene and his involvement in the assault. The conviction under Section 398 IPC was set aside, but the conviction under Section 302 IPC was affirmed, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
