Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder, along with other charges under Sections 452, 325/149, 324/149, and 323/149 IPC. The Court found that the High Court correctly set aside the acquittal of the appellants based on the evidence presented, which established their involvement in a premeditated attack on the deceased. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the life sentence imposed by the High Court for the murder conviction.
