In Brief
The appellant was convicted of murdering a woman with a knife (offence under IPC Section 302 and Arms Act Sections 25, 27) after a jealous dispute over her interaction with another boy. The Trial Court and High Court both upheld the conviction based on eyewitness evidence and the nature of injuries (12 wounds inflicted by the same knife). The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that it will not reappreciate concurrent factual findings absent manifest illegality or serious error, and found the eyewitness evidence credible and the injury pattern consistent with a single assailant.
