Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302/34 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act, affirming the Patna High Court's decision. The Court established that the prosecution's evidence, including eyewitness accounts and forensic findings, sufficiently proved the appellants' involvement in the murder of Parmeshwar Sao. The Court found that the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the concealment of the appellants and the use of a firearm, warranted the conviction and sentence imposed by the trial court.
