Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC and Section 323/34 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision that the evidence against them was sufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court reiterated that the trial court's assessment of witness credibility should be respected unless there are significant errors in judgment. The appellants were sentenced to life imprisonment and fines, with sentences running concurrently, thus affirming the lower courts' findings.
