Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 and Section 120B IPC for the murder of his stepmother, despite the High Court ruling out the reliability of a key eyewitness. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established five circumstantial evidences linking the appellant to the crime, including the last seen theory and the absence of any motive for the murder. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings and the conviction of the appellant.
