Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court found that the trial court's judgment was perverse, reversing the conviction under Section 302 IPC and convicting the appellant under Section 304 Part 2 IPC instead, due to lack of premeditation and the incident occurring in a sudden quarrel. The Court upheld the credibility of witnesses PW-1, PW-2, and PW-3, affirming that their testimonies supported the prosecution's case. The Court noted the severity of the injuries but acknowledged that the State did not appeal the High Court's judgment, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
