Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant for offences under Sections 376 and 302 IPC, affirming the life sentence for murder and a 10-year sentence for rape, both to run concurrently. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's case was based on circumstantial evidence, which was deemed sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt. The Court found that the evidence presented, including witness testimonies, supported the conclusion that the appellant was present at the scene during the commission of the crimes.
