Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Maya, establishing that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt the appellant's motive, opportunity, and the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death. The Court found that the evidence, including the post-mortem report indicating foul play, supported the conclusion that the appellant was responsible for the crime. The conviction was affirmed, while the acquittal of the appellant's father under the same charges was maintained.
