Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302, 34, 120B, and 394 IPC for the murder of Girish and Bina Navalkha, affirming the trial court's findings based on circumstantial evidence and confessions of co-accused. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established a clear motive and method of the crime, and the recovery of stolen items linked the appellant to the offence. The appeal was dismissed, and the life sentence along with additional imprisonment for robbery was confirmed.
