Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the reliance on the testimonies of witnesses P.W.1, P.W.3, P.W.4, and P.W.5, as well as two dying declarations (Ext. P-15 and Ext. P-18). The Court found no perversity in the High Court's conclusions, thereby dismissing the appeal against the conviction and ordering the appellant to serve the remaining sentence. The judgment emphasizes the sufficiency of corroborative evidence in establishing guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
