Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 and Section 120-B IPC for the murder of Dalbir, Vijender, and Smt. Kitabo, affirming the High Court's decision to commute the death sentences of two appellants to life imprisonment. The Court emphasized the credibility of eyewitness testimony and the sufficiency of evidence presented during the trial. The appeal by the informant was also considered, but the convictions were maintained, leading to the dismissal of the appeals by the convicted persons.
