Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellants under Sections 302, 147, and 148 IPC, affirming that the prosecution established the presence of the sole eyewitness, PW-4, despite challenges regarding her credibility as a pardanashin lady. The Court emphasized that the High Court's re-appreciation of evidence was justified, and the appellants' arguments regarding the eyewitness's presence did not undermine the prosecution's case. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeals and confirmed the life sentence imposed by the High Court.
