Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sankath Prasad under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code for murder, affirming the decision of the Allahabad High Court. The court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Consequently, the appeal against the life sentence was dismissed, reinforcing the lower court's ruling.
