Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Shashi, confirming the Delhi High Court's decision. The Court found that the evidence, including the circumstances of the death and the appellant's inconsistent statements, established his guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that the prosecution had successfully proven the essential ingredients of murder, leading to the affirmation of the life sentence and fine imposed by the lower court.
