Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, rejecting the trial court's finding of no eyewitnesses. The Court found that the testimony of PW.1, the deceased's wife, was credible despite her being in another part of the house, as corroborated by the site plan and medical evidence. The Court dismissed the appellant's claim for lesser culpability under Section 304 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision to convict him for murder based on the evidence presented.
