Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused-appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, emphasizing that circumstantial evidence, including the possession of the deceased's mobile phone and licensed revolver, was sufficient to establish guilt. The Court reiterated that in cases of circumstantial evidence, the chain of circumstances must be complete and unbroken, leading to the only conclusion of guilt. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings.
