Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder, affirming the High Court's decision which overturned the trial court's acquittal. The Court found the prosecution evidence reliable, establishing that the appellants intentionally caused the death of the deceased in broad daylight, with consistent eyewitness accounts corroborating their involvement. The Court ruled that the High Court's conclusions were justified and did not suffer from serious infirmities, thus dismissing the appeal.
