Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302, 452, and 504 IPC, affirming the life sentence and additional terms of imprisonment imposed by the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The Court ruled that the testimony of the deceased's relatives, as eyewitnesses, was credible and did not warrant dismissal based on their relationship to the victim. The Court emphasized that mere familial ties do not inherently compromise witness credibility, thus rejecting the appellant's claims of false implication.
