Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC and Section 148 IPC for the murder of Balmukund. The Court found that the evidence of eyewitnesses PW 1 and PW 2 was credible, despite the defense's argument regarding visibility during the incident. The Court ruled that the procedure followed by the Sessions Judge in recalling witnesses was improper, but it did not affect the reliability of the eyewitness accounts, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
