Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of her newborn daughter, affirming the findings of the trial court and the High Court. The Court noted that the prosecution established a complete chain of circumstantial evidence, despite the absence of eyewitnesses, and found that the appellant's claims of false implication were unsubstantiated. The Court held that the evidence presented was sufficient to prove the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, thus confirming the life sentence imposed.
