Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, while acquitting the other two accused. The Court found that the appellant had a motive related to the deceased's refusal to participate in a donation collection and that he intentionally caused the deceased's electrocution by instructing others to switch on the power while the deceased was working on the electric post. The Court emphasized the importance of the appellant's prior threats and the common intention among the accused in committing the crime.
