Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 364 IPC for kidnapping and Section 302 IPC for murder, confirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established a clear motive stemming from prior animosity and threats made by the accused against the deceased, along with corroborative eyewitness accounts. The Court found sufficient evidence linking the accused to the crime, thereby affirming the lower court's judgment.
