Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction and sentence of life imprisonment under Section 302 IPC and three years rigorous imprisonment under Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959, confirming the findings of the Trial Court and the High Court. The Court found that the evidence, particularly from the informant and eye-witness, sufficiently established the appellant's guilt in the murder of Krishna Murari Gupta. The Court concluded that there was no legal infirmity in the judgments of the lower courts, thus dismissing the appeal.
