Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of the accused in a double murder case, emphasizing that the High Court's judgment was based on conjectures and failed to properly appreciate the evidence of eyewitnesses. The Court reaffirmed the applicability of Sections 302, 148, 149, and 307 IPC, establishing that the evidence presented by the prosecution was credible and sufficient to uphold the convictions. Consequently, the Court reinstated the life sentences imposed by the Additional Sessions Judge.
