Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of A-1 and A-2 under Section 302 IPC by the High Court, which instead convicted them under Sections 326 and 324 IPC. The Court held that the evidence presented, including eyewitness testimonies and dying declarations, warranted a conviction under Section 302 IPC for murder, emphasizing the necessity of a thorough evaluation of the evidence. Consequently, the Court overturned the High Court's judgment, reinstating the conviction under Section 302 IPC and sentencing A-1 and A-2 to life imprisonment.
