Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 302/34 IPC, affirming that the prosecution established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt through credible eyewitness testimony. The Court noted that the FIR was lodged promptly, which supported the reliability of the witnesses despite rigorous cross-examination. The judgment emphasized the importance of eyewitness accounts in corroborating the prosecution's case, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against the life sentence imposed by the trial court.
