Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in acquitting the accused under Sections 302 IPC, 376(2)(f) IPC, and 201 IPC, as the prosecution had established a strong circumstantial case against him. The Court emphasized that the chain of circumstances, including the recovery of blood-stained clothes and the confession of the accused, was sufficient to uphold the conviction. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and restored the Trial Court's conviction and sentence.
