Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants for murder under Section 302 IPC, abduction under Section 364 IPC, and destruction of evidence under Section 201 IPC. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the chain of events leading to the murder, including the motive related to unpaid brokerage. The High Court's confirmation of the trial court's sentence of life imprisonment was affirmed, reinforcing the principle that circumstantial evidence can suffice for conviction when it forms a complete chain.
