2. The appellant has been convicted under Sections 302, 392 read with Section 34 of the IPC by Addl. Sessions Judge-02: South East Saket Court, New Delhi.

Detailed facts of the case including prosecution case and the evidence on record have been elaborately noted by Sister Justice Indu Malhotra in her judgment. Hence, I feel no necessity to repeat the same. After elaborate consideration of entire evidence on record Sister Justice Indu Malhotra has come to the conclusion that appeal should be allowed and appellant be acquitted.
