The Court found that the discrepancies between the ocular evidence and medical evidence did not undermine the credibility of the eyewitnesses, as the core facts of the incident were corroborated. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, and the life sentence was upheld, emphasizing the sufficiency of eyewitness accounts in establishing guilt under Section 302 IPC.
