Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302/34 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which converted their conviction from Section 302/149 IPC. The Court emphasized that the evidence of eyewitnesses was credible and established the involvement of the appellants in the murder of Ramlal, following his abduction. The Court confirmed the life imprisonment sentence and fine imposed by the High Court, thereby rejecting the appellants' appeal against their conviction.
