Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the appeal against the Rajasthan High Court's decision that set aside the conviction under Section 302 IPC for murder. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony, particularly from Geeta (PW.16), who, despite being deaf and dumb, provided crucial evidence through sign language. The Court held that the High Court erred in not appreciating the evidence properly, reinstating the conviction and sentence under Section 302 IPC, thereby affirming the trial court's judgment.
