Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Majid and Bashir under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Smt. Hamidi and attempted murder of Abdul Rahim. The Court found that the testimony of the minor eyewitness, Hasham (PW-6), was credible and corroborated by the statements made to the police under Section 161 CrPC. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness accounts in establishing the identity of the assailants and the sequence of events leading to the crime, affirming the lower courts' findings despite the acquittal of other accused.
