Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Jeet Singh, establishing that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused inflicted fatal injuries leading to death. The Court emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence from eyewitnesses and the post-mortem report, which confirmed the cause of death as head injury. The appeal against the High Court's judgment was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings and the sentence imposed on the accused.
