Judgment text excerpt
The case involves an appeal against the conviction of the appellants for the murder of two young children. The trial court initially convicted the appellants under Section 304 Part II of the IPC, but the High Court enhanced this to a conviction under Section 302 IPC, substituting the sentence with life imprisonment. The prosecution alleged that the victims were drowned due to a political dispute regarding panchayat election voting preferences.
