Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 27 of the Arms Act for possession of a weapon, affirming the life sentences imposed by the trial court. The Court found that the prosecution established the common intention of the accused to kill the deceased, supported by eyewitness testimony from Rajesh (PW5). The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that eyewitness accounts can be pivotal in establishing guilt in murder cases.
