Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellant under Sections 302/307/34 IPC, reversing the trial court's acquittal. The Court found sufficient evidence, including credible testimony from an injured witness (PW-2) and the recovery of blood-stained items linked to the appellant, establishing her motive related to familial discord. The Court affirmed the life imprisonment sentence and denied remission until the appellant serves twenty-five years in custody.
