Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the Court Martial, confirming that the appellant's actions constituted murder under Section 302 IPC. The Court found that the appellant fired three shots at a colleague, despite warnings, and that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts and ballistic reports, supported the conviction. The appeal was dismissed as the Court found no merit in the arguments presented regarding the nature of the incident being accidental.
