In Brief
The appellant Kamlakar was convicted of murder under Section 302 IPC for killing Dhammanand on 13 March 2005 at Dhanegaon. The Supreme Court upheld the concurrent judgments of the trial court and high court, finding the eyewitness evidence of two witnesses at the threshold of the house credible, the post-mortem report confirming homicidal death by chop wound, and the blood-stained weapon recovery properly established. The Court rejected the appellant's contentions that the witnesses could not have seen the crime or that the weapon recovery was unreliable, emphasizing deference to concurrent findings and the corroborating forensic evidence.", <parameter name="cited_cases">[]
