Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the conviction of Daud Khan under Section 302 IPC for murder and the acquittal of the same under Section 304 IPC by the High Court. The Court held that the evidence presented, including the use of a firearm and the intent to kill, warranted the conviction under Section 302 IPC, thereby overturning the High Court's decision. The Court emphasized the necessity of upholding the trial court's findings based on the established facts and evidence.
