Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Bibi Matluwa, affirming the findings of the Patna High Court. The Court noted that both the trial court and the High Court correctly evaluated the evidence and the false explanations provided by the appellants, which were crucial in establishing their guilt. The Court found no reason to interfere with the lower courts' judgments, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
