Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Kuldip Kaur and under Section 201 IPC for causing disappearance of evidence. The Court found that the evidence presented established a clear motive stemming from familial disputes over property and that the appellants had conspired to conceal the crime. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the life sentence under Section 302 IPC and a two-year sentence under Section 201 IPC.
