Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302 and 148 IPC for the murder of Bhura and the assault on Badri, affirming the findings of the trial court and the High Court. The Court noted that the prosecution established a clear motive linked to a prior incident and presented sufficient evidence, including eyewitness accounts and medical testimony, to support the conviction. The Court emphasized that the injuries sustained by the deceased were sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature, thus validating the charges against the appellants.
