Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 302, 147, and 148 IPC, affirming the trial court's findings despite the non-support of four eyewitnesses. The Court emphasized that the testimony of PW-6, the deceased's brother, was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused, as it was corroborated by the circumstances surrounding the incident. The Court held that the evidence presented met the standards required for conviction under the IPC, thereby dismissing the appeal against the conviction and sentence.
