Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the triple murder of Shivnandan Mahto, Chamru Chaudhary, and Rajendra Chaudhary, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the lower courts. The Court found that the prosecution established the case against the appellants through eyewitness testimony and corroborative evidence. The appeal against the conviction was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that eyewitness accounts can be sufficient for conviction in murder cases under Section 302 IPC.
