Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the respondents under Sections 302/149 IPC for the murder of three individuals, affirming the trial court's decision after the High Court had acquitted them. The Court found that the prosecution had established a clear case of conspiracy and joint liability among the accused, as they were armed and acted in concert during the attack. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the credibility of the prosecution's case, ultimately rejecting the defense's claims of innocence and alibi.
