Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302, 364, 467, 468, 471, and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, affirming that the accused conspired to murder Yadav Navkar and forged documents to sell his land. The Court established that the execution of the power of attorney was fraudulent, as the deceased was missing and could not have authorized the sale. The appeal was dismissed, and the convictions were confirmed, emphasizing the importance of proving the authenticity of documents in property transactions.
