Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Bihari Lal, affirming the High Court's decision that the evidence presented was credible despite the defense's claim of interested witnesses. The Court noted that the prosecution established a clear case of murder, supported by eyewitness accounts and medical evidence indicating the cause of death was due to head injuries inflicted by sharp and blunt weapons. The appeal against conviction was dismissed, and the life sentences were upheld.
