Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the Appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the Calcutta High Court. The Court found that the evidence, including eyewitness testimonies and the post-mortem report indicating multiple stab wounds, sufficiently established the guilt of the accused. The Court emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in murder cases and confirmed that the prosecution had met its burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt.
