Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 203 IPC, affirming the trial court's finding that the death of the deceased was homicidal based on circumstantial evidence. The court noted that despite the absence of a strong motive, the circumstances surrounding the case, including the appellant's exclusive presence with the deceased, warranted the conviction. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal was rejected, reinforcing the trial court's conclusions regarding the nature of the death and the appellant's culpability.
