Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Khaja Saheb, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the guilt of the appellants through the testimonies of eyewitnesses and corroborative evidence, despite some witnesses turning hostile. The Court emphasized the sufficiency of circumstantial evidence and the confessional statements made by the accused, leading to the conclusion that the appellants were guilty of the charges against them.
