Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of two individuals, affirming the trial court's findings. The Court noted that the prosecution established the presence of the appellants at the crime scene and the recovery of blood-stained articles linked to them. The High Court's decision to quash the sentences of co-accused minors was also acknowledged, but the appeals of the appellants were dismissed, maintaining their convictions and sentences under the relevant sections of the IPC and the Arms Act.
