Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the findings of the High Court and the Trial Court. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims of perversity in the Trial Court's conclusions and noted that the delay in lodging the FIR was justified given the circumstances of the case. The Court concluded that the prosecution had provided sufficient evidence to establish the accused's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, thereby rejecting the appeal.
