Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC, Section 498A IPC, and Section 201 IPC. The Court upheld the conviction for murder, emphasizing that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical testimony, sufficiently established the guilt of the accused. However, the Court noted the acquittal under Section 498A IPC due to lack of evidence for dowry demand, thereby affirming the High Court's decision in part and allowing the appeal in part.
