Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 294(b), 341, and 302 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which partly allowed the appeal against the trial court's judgment. The Court established that the prosecution successfully proved the appellant's involvement in the murder, with the evidence demonstrating a clear motive and the act of stabbing the victim. The acquittal under Section 506(ii) IPC was also noted, but the overall conviction and sentence were maintained, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal.
