The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 304 Part II/34 of the IPC for his involvement in a murder case. The court confirmed the High Court's finding that the appellant was not a juvenile at the time of the incident, thus denying him the benefits of the Juvenile Justice Act. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the sentence of ten years of rigorous imprisonment.
