Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Chhota, affirming the High Court's decision despite challenges regarding the credibility of the sole eyewitness, Gariba (P.W.4). The Court found that the evidence presented, including the First Information Report, sufficiently established the appellant's guilt, rejecting claims of discrepancies in timing and motive. The conviction was confirmed, and the appellant's arguments regarding the deceased's criminal background and potential alternative suspects were deemed insufficient to overturn the ruling.
