Heard learned counsel for the parties.
The sole appellant was convicted by the Trial court under Section 302 of
the Indian Penal Code, 1860 [for short, “I.P.C.”] and sentenced to undergo
imprisonment for life and to pay fine of Rupees ten thousand; in default, to undergo
further simple imprisonment for a period of one year. He was further convicted
under Section 309 I.P.C. and sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for a period
of one year. The sentences were, however, ordered to run concurrently. On appeal
being preferred, High Court confirmed the convictions. Hence, this appeal by special
leave.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties at length and perused the
records, we are of the view that the Trial Court as well as the High Court convicted
the appellant upon threadbare discussion of evidence and no interference by this
Court is called for.
The criminal appeal is, accordingly, dismissed.
