Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Manaharbhai Ambalal Rohit and Savitaben under Section 302 IPC read with Section 114 IPC for the murder of Narmadaben, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found sufficient evidence of intent and premeditation, as the accused had chased the victim, forcibly entered her home, and set her ablaze with kerosene. The Court also confirmed the convictions under Section 452 IPC and Section 504 IPC, maintaining the life sentences and fines imposed by the lower courts.
