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 and the circumstances surrounding the incident provided sufficient evidence to establish the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of his appeal was rejected, affirming the life sentence imposed by the trial court.
