Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Deepak, affirming the High Court's decision which found sufficient evidence linking the accused to the crime, including eyewitness testimony and forensic evidence. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the motive and the sequence of events leading to the murder, thereby rejecting the defense's arguments. Additionally, the conviction under Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959 for possession of an illegal firearm was also affirmed, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
