Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Gyasiram under Section 302 IPC and Angad under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Kalyan Singh, affirming their life sentences. The Court found overwhelming evidence from eyewitnesses, including those who suffered injuries, corroborated by medical evidence and ballistic findings. The Court established that both accused acted with a common intention to kill, and the FIR was lodged promptly, negating any chance of embellishment.
