Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ajay and Bacha under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Siaram, affirming the findings of the Patna High Court. The Court found the testimonies of eyewitnesses P.Ws. 1 and 2 to be credible, despite challenges regarding the absence of ballistic evidence. The Court emphasized that the reliability of eyewitness accounts was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused, leading to the dismissal of their appeals against conviction.
