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 eyewitness testimonies of PW 1 and PW 2 were credible despite the defense's argument regarding visibility during the incident. The Court also noted procedural irregularities in the Sessions Court regarding the recall of witnesses but ultimately affirmed the conviction based on the strength of the evidence presented.
