Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Fahim Khan under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Sagir Hasan Siddique, finding that the High Court correctly set aside the Trial Court's acquittal due to perverse findings. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, was sufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal against the High Court's decision was dismissed, affirming the life sentence imposed on the appellant.
