Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kumar under Sections 302, 148, and 149 IPC for the murder of Ramesh, affirming the High Court's decision to dismiss the appeal of Kumar while acquitting other co-accused. The Court noted that the evidence of PW 1, the sister of the deceased, was credible despite the High Court's skepticism regarding PW 2's eyewitness status. The Court emphasized that the presence of multiple assailants and the nature of the injuries supported the conviction under the relevant sections of the IPC.
