Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that had acquitted the accused of murder and related charges under the IPC and Arms Act. The court found that the High Court had erred in its assessment of evidence and the credibility of witnesses. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the trial court's conviction and sentences, emphasizing the need for justice for the victim's family.
