Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 201 IPC for causing disappearance of evidence. The Court found that the evidence presented established a motive stemming from familial disputes over property and that the actions of the appellants were premeditated. The appeal against the High Court's affirmation of the trial court's judgment was dismissed, confirming the life sentence for the murder and a two-year sentence for the related offence.
