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 beyond reasonable doubt, despite the acquittal of one co-accused due to lack of evidence. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the circumstances surrounding the incident, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.
