Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions 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 eyewitness testimonies and recovery of the deceased's remains. The appeal against the High Court's confirmation of the convictions was dismissed, affirming the life sentences for murder and three-year sentences for destruction of evidence.
