Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 302 and 120B IPC for the murder of Sohan Singh, affirming the findings of the Additional Sessions Judge. The Court established that a conspiracy existed among the appellants to murder Sohan Singh due to his objections to the illicit relationship between Appellant No. 1 and Appellant No. 4. The Court confirmed the life sentences imposed on all appellants, emphasizing the sufficiency of circumstantial evidence to establish their guilt.
