Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the identification of A-7 at the test identification parade was admissible under Section 9 of the Evidence Act, despite the lack of specific details regarding his role in the crime. The Court confirmed A-7's conviction under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, establishing that the evidence of corroborating witnesses was sufficient to support the conviction. The acquittal of the other accused was upheld due to insufficient evidence linking them to the crime.
