Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Satni Bai under Section 302 IPC for the murder of her son, affirming the findings of the Chhattisgarh High Court. The Court noted that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts and forensic reports, established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized the gravity of the crime, particularly given the familial relationship, and maintained the life sentence imposed by the lower courts.
