Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 309 IPC for attempt to commit suicide, affirming the life sentence and fine imposed by the Trial Court and confirmed by the High Court. The Court found that both lower courts had conducted a thorough examination of the evidence, leading to a justified conviction. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, maintaining the original sentences.
