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 trial court. The Court found that the evidence of eyewitnesses, including PW-3, established the appellant's involvement in the attack on the deceased, who was fatally stabbed. The judgment of the High Court dismissing the appeal was confirmed, reinforcing the legal principle that eyewitness testimony can be sufficient for conviction in murder cases.
