Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the appeal against the High Court's conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Master Hrithik. The Court emphasized the importance of the extra-judicial confession made by the appellant, which was corroborated by the discovery of the child's body in a well. The Court upheld the High Court's conviction, finding that the prosecution had established the guilt of the appellant beyond reasonable doubt, thereby affirming the sentence imposed by the High Court.
