Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 201 IPC for causing disappearance of evidence, affirming the Punjab and Haryana High Court's judgment. The Court found that the prosecution established the presence of the accused at the crime scene and their active participation in the brutal attack on the deceased, supported by eyewitness testimonies. The Court emphasized that the use of deadly weapons and the nature of injuries inflicted demonstrated a clear intention to kill, leading to the imposition of life imprisonment and fines.
