Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, affirming the trial court's findings based on eyewitness testimony and medical evidence. The Court noted that the deceased suffered fatal injuries, including a cut to the femoral artery, and that the attack was premeditated, as evidenced by the prior threats made by the appellants. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the life sentences and concurrent seven-year imprisonment for attempted murder.
