Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants for murder under Section 302 IPC, affirming the High Court's reversal of their acquittal. The Court ruled that the High Court did not err in reviewing evidence, as the prosecution established a motive and the reliability of the victim's parents as witnesses was justified despite their interest. The appeal under Section 379 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was dismissed, confirming the life sentences imposed by the High Court.
