Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed two special leave petitions challenging convictions under Section 302 IPC, affirming life sentences imposed by the High Courts of Bombay and Chhattisgarh. The Court found the eyewitness testimonies reliable and the defense of sudden fight unsubstantiated. The Court also commended the initiative of the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee to facilitate video conferencing between counsel and accused, directing all Legal Services Authorities to implement similar measures in criminal cases.
