Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that quashed the conviction of Rahul for the murder of Kavita Sahu and Gaurang Sahu under Section 302 IPC. The Court found that the High Court had erred in its assessment of the evidence and the credibility of witnesses. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the original conviction and sentence imposed by the Trial Court, emphasizing the importance of witness testimony in murder cases.
