Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the provisions of Section 302 IPC necessitate a clear demonstration of intent to kill for a conviction of murder, emphasizing the need for corroborative evidence to establish the accused's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court reiterated that circumstantial evidence must be compelling and point unequivocally towards the accused's involvement in the crime. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
