Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of six appellants under Section 302 read with Section 120-B IPC for the murder of Pragnesh Kumar, who was set on fire after being doused with kerosene by the accused. The Court confirmed the life sentences and fines imposed by the Gujarat High Court, emphasizing the sufficiency of evidence linking the accused to the crime. The acquittal of four other accused was also noted, as no case was established against them.
