Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of the deceased, finding sufficient corroborative evidence from child witness PW 4 and other witnesses (PWs 3, 5, and 6). The Court rejected the defense's argument regarding the credibility of the witnesses and the claim of the deceased's alleged affair leading to suicide, affirming that the evidence presented was credible and consistent. The Court confirmed the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the lower courts.
