Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ram Niwas for murder under Section 302 IPC and destruction of evidence under Section 201 IPC. The court found that the High Court had correctly dismissed the appeal against the Sessions Court's judgment, which had sentenced Niwas to life imprisonment and fines. The evidence presented was deemed sufficient to establish his guilt beyond reasonable doubt, particularly in the context of familial disputes surrounding remarriage.
