Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the findings of the Trial Court and the High Court. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony, particularly that of PW-11, who identified the accused near the crime scene with blood-stained clothes. The Court found that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the dismissal of the appeal and the confirmation of the life sentence.
