Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of Jagdish and Randhir under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Ram Chander and Pawan Kumar, affirming the findings of the Trial Court and High Court regarding their active participation in the assault. The Court found that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish their guilt beyond reasonable doubt, rejecting the alibi defense of Jasbir due to the proximity of his location to the crime scene. The Court dismissed the appeals of the convicted accused, reinforcing the principle that concurrent findings of fact by lower courts warrant deference unless proven perverse.
