The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 302 IPC and Section 120B IPC for conspiracy to commit murder, affirming the Sessions Court's findings. Appellant Arnit Das was sentenced to death for the murder of Abhishek, while the other two appellants received life imprisonment. The Court emphasized that the conspiracy was established through the actions and communications among the appellants, and the evidence supported the conclusion that they acted in concert to execute the murder plan.
