Judgment text excerpt
The case involves an appeal against the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 of the IPC for the killing of two young boys. The Trial Court had initially convicted them under Section 304 Part II, but the High Court enhanced the conviction to Section 302, substituting the sentence with life imprisonment. The Supreme Court examines whether the evidence supports the charge of murder or culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
