Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 and Section 392 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder and robbery of Baburao. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, which relied on circumstantial evidence and the presumption under Section 114(a) of the Evidence Act, affirming the life sentence for murder and five years for robbery. The Court concluded that the evidence sufficiently established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, thus dismissing the appeals.
