Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Nusrat Parween and Ahmad Khan under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Hamida Parween, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court. The Court found that the evidence presented, including the circumstances surrounding the disappearance and subsequent discovery of the victim's body, established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized the importance of circumstantial evidence in murder cases, particularly when direct evidence is lacking.
