Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Karambir, affirming the trial court's findings based on eyewitness testimonies and medical evidence. The Court emphasized that the prosecution successfully established the motive and the act of stabbing, which resulted in instantaneous death. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, and the life sentence was maintained, reinforcing the principle that direct evidence from credible witnesses can substantiate a murder charge.
