Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Karnataka High Court's decision that had set aside the conviction of the accused under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Eramma. The Court held that the prosecution had established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, as they were found to have acted in concert to commit the murder. The Court reinstated the life sentence imposed by the Sessions Judge, affirming the conviction based on the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts.
