Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for murder, stating that the evidence of eyewitnesses PW.1 and PW.5 was credible despite the trial court's initial skepticism. The Court emphasized that the presence of multiple witnesses corroborated the prosecution's case, and the injuries sustained by the deceased were consistent with the assault described. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment and the sentences imposed on the accused.
