Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 and Section 201 IPC for the murder of Baijnath Singh and the concealment of his dead body. The Court found that the identification of the dead body, despite being skeletal, was sufficient given the circumstances and corroborative witness testimonies. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings regarding the evidence and the motive behind the crime.
