Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his three children and attempted murder of his wife, confirming the death penalty imposed by the Trial Court. The Court found that the prosecution's case was established beyond reasonable doubt, rejecting the appellant's defense that his wife was responsible for the children's deaths. The judgment emphasized the gravity of the crime and the need for deterrent punishment in cases of extreme violence against family members.
