Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kanti Lal and Govind Ram under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for murder, Section 392 IPC for robbery, and Section 201 IPC for causing disappearance of evidence. The Court found that the evidence, including the recovery of stolen money and the identification of the accused, was sufficient to establish their guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal against the Rajasthan High Court's confirmation of their conviction was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings.
