Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of seven accused under Section 302 and Section 201 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Ram Krishna Singh. The Court found that the prosecution established the case beyond reasonable doubt through the testimonies of multiple eyewitnesses and the recovery of the deceased's remains. The appeal against the High Court's confirmation of the conviction was dismissed, affirming the life sentences and additional imprisonment for the accused.
