Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 and 302 read with Section 149 IPC for the murder of Madhusudan Choudhary, affirming the findings of the trial court and High Court. The Court noted that the evidence of six eye-witnesses was credible despite their familial ties to the deceased, as they were present at the scene of the crime. The Court found no merit in the defence's claims, as the defence witnesses were disbelieved due to contradictions and lack of credibility.
