Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Chhedi Lal, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the prosecution established the appellant's guilt through credible eyewitness testimony and medical evidence linking the gunshot wounds to the cause of death. The Court rejected the appellant's claims of false implication and held that the evidence presented was sufficient to sustain the conviction and life sentence.
