Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC, as well as Sections 147 and 148 IPC, for the murder of Halkiya. The Court found that the testimonies of eyewitnesses, particularly PW-1, PW-2, and PW-3, were credible despite the defense's argument regarding the deceased's ability to make a statement. The Court emphasized that the dying declaration was admissible and sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
