Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302, 307, and 324 read with Section 34 IPC, confirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the evidence presented by the prosecution, particularly from witnesses Babu Ram and Khushi Ram, was credible and sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused. The defense's claim of private defense was rejected as the appellants were the aggressors in the incident leading to the death of Multan Singh and injuries to others.
