Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302 and 307 IPC, affirming that the appellants, along with accused Laxman Singh, were guilty of murder and attempted murder, respectively, as they acted in concert with a common intention to attack the complainant and his father. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the culpability of the appellants. The appeal by the appellants was allowed in part, leading to a modification of the sentences imposed by the lower courts.
