Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, affirming the High Court's decision in the case involving the assassination attempt on ex-Mayor Milind Vaidya. The Court emphasized the need for corroborative evidence in cases relying on eyewitness accounts, particularly when the witnesses are related to the victim. The judgment reinforced the principle that the prosecution must establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, which was found to be satisfied in this case.
