Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of his wife, Usha, affirming the trial court's findings based on circumstantial evidence, including a handwritten note allegedly authored by the appellant. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established a clear motive stemming from marital discord and infidelity, which was corroborated by witness testimonies. The appeal against the High Court's judgment was dismissed, and the life sentence was confirmed.
