Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the Appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 201 IPC for causing disappearance of evidence, affirming the life sentences imposed by the trial court. The Court found sufficient evidence from eyewitnesses, including family members of the deceased, to establish that Krishnanand Chaudhary was assaulted and killed by the Appellants. The argument regarding the absence of the corpus delicti was rejected, as the Court held that the testimonies provided a clear account of the events leading to the death.
