Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Chunni Bai under Section 302 IPC for the brutal killing of her two daughters with an iron crowbar. The High Court's decision to affirm the sentence was challenged, but the Supreme Court found the evidence and reasoning sufficient to sustain the conviction. The case underscores the importance of evidence in criminal appeals involving grievous offenses. The Court maintained that the conviction was well-founded based on the facts and testimonies presented.
