Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 307 IPC for the murder of the deceased and attempted murder of his wife. The Court found that the evidence of eyewitnesses, particularly PW-3 and PW-4, was credible and established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court confirmed the life sentence and additional rigorous imprisonment, rejecting the appellant's claims regarding the reliability of the witnesses' testimonies.
