Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 201 IPC, affirming the findings of the Rajasthan High Court. The Court reiterated that in cases based on circumstantial evidence, the guilt must be established beyond reasonable doubt, with all circumstances being incompatible with the innocence of the accused. The Court found that the prosecution had sufficiently established the connection between the accused and the crime through circumstantial evidence, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
