Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for culpable homicide, affirming that the act of inflicting a fatal blow with a wooden piece constituted an intention to kill. The Court held that the evidence supported the finding of intention and culpability, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against the life sentence. The acquittal of the first accused was upheld due to lack of evidence against him.
