Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Parshuram Bind and Sita Ram Bind, affirming the findings of the trial court and the High Court. The Court found the testimonies of eyewitnesses P.Ws. 5 and 6 credible, despite the hostility of other witnesses, and established that the murders were committed due to prior enmity and political rivalry. The Court dismissed the appeals, confirming the life sentences imposed on the accused.
