Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court, under Article 136, held that it can interfere with concurrent findings of fact if the lower courts acted perversely. The Court found that the prosecution's evidence was unreliable and insufficient to uphold the convictions under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, leading to the setting aside of the High Court's judgment. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the convictions and sentences imposed by the High Court were overturned.
