Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the findings of the Kerala High Court. The Court emphasized that the identification of the accused by eyewitness Babu (PW1) was credible despite the defense's claims of improbability and delay in FIR dispatch. The Court ruled that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, thereby rejecting the appeal against the conviction.
