Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Accused Nos. 1 and 2 under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Tarkeshwar Prasad Singh, affirming the findings of the Additional Sessions Judge that they intentionally caused the death by firing at him. The Court also confirmed their conviction under Section 307 IPC for attempting to murder two other passengers, PW 5 and PW 6, during the same incident. The sentences of life imprisonment for both accused were maintained, as the evidence supported the conclusion of their guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
