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. The Court found the testimonies of the eyewitnesses, who were relatives of the deceased, credible and cogent, rejecting the argument that their relationship affected their reliability. The Court emphasized that relationship does not inherently compromise a witness's credibility, thus affirming the lower courts' decisions.
