AMMINI AND OTHERS vs STATE OF KERALA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 120-B(1) and Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murders of Merli and her two children. The Court found that the evidence established a conspiracy to commit murder, driven by animosity and illicit relationships, and that the appellants had made multiple attempts to execute their plan. The appeal against the Kerala High Court's decision to convict was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings.
