Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Kamal Khudal, who was convicted of murder under Section 302 IPC by the Gauhati High Court. The court upheld the findings of the trial court, which sentenced Khudal and a co-accused to life imprisonment, while acquitting a third accused due to lack of evidence. The court found sufficient evidence to support the conviction, including the circumstances surrounding the deceased's disappearance and subsequent death.
