Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the conviction of Shankar for the murder of his wife, which was based on evidence of beating, pouring kerosene, and setting her on fire. The lower courts had convicted him, and his appeal was dismissed, leading to this review. The Court upheld the concurrent findings of guilt, emphasizing the sufficiency of evidence and the correctness of the trial court's judgment. The appeal was therefore dismissed, affirming the conviction and sentence.
