Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Ajeet, finding that the evidence presented by witnesses was credible and sufficient to establish their guilt. The court rejected the appellants' argument that the incident constituted only culpable homicide under Section 304 Part II IPC, affirming that the nature of the attack indicated an intention to kill. The court emphasized that the appellants had inflicted severe injuries on the deceased, leading to his death, and thus upheld the lower court's decision.
