RAVINDER KUMAR vs STATE OF PUNJAB

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 found that the prosecution established the appellants' involvement in the orchestrated murder of the business broker, Amar Kumar Gupta, and the subsequent attempt to dispose of his body by disguising it as a parcel. The Court confirmed the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the trial court and upheld the High Court's decision, emphasizing the gravity of the crime and the need for deterrent punishment.
