Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of the appellant against his conviction under Sections 392, 397, and 302/34 IPC, asserting that he sought parity with co-accused Subhash based on a prior judgment. The Court noted that the appeal was delayed by 896 days but allowed it to proceed due to the claim of similar circumstances. The Court upheld the conviction, emphasizing the evidence of recovery of the deceased's body and the tractor used in the crime as critical to establishing guilt.
