Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kamleshwar Paswan under Sections 302 and 307 IPC for the murder of his two sons and attempted murder of his daughter. The Court found the eyewitness accounts of PWs 1, 2, and 3 credible and consistent, corroborated by medical evidence from PW 4, which established the prosecution's case beyond reasonable doubt. The death sentence was confirmed, rejecting the defense's claim of accidental injury as implausible.
