Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his mother, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the trial court. The court found that the extrajudicial confession made by the appellant, corroborated by medical evidence and the recovery of the weapon, constituted sufficient legal evidence to support the conviction. The court concluded that the trial court's findings were based on credible evidence and did not warrant interference.
