Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ram Viswas under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Maladeep, who was set on fire after a domestic dispute. The Court found that the dying declaration of the victim, which named the appellant as the perpetrator, was credible and supported by medical evidence of 100% burn injuries. The Court rejected the appellant's argument for a lesser charge under Section 304 Part II IPC, affirming the High Court's dismissal of his appeal and the trial court's findings.
