Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302, 201, 363, and 364 read with Section 34 IPC, reversing the High Court's acquittal of the accused. The Court emphasized the significance of the extra-judicial confession made by the appellant, which was corroborated by the discovery of the child's body in the well. The Court held that the prosecution had established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against the High Court's decision.
