Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 324 IPC for causing hurt, establishing that the presence of multiple assailants and the use of firearms constituted a clear case of premeditated attack. The Court emphasized that the plea of alibi presented by the appellants was not substantiated by credible evidence, and the testimonies of eyewitnesses were reliable and consistent. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision and the sentences imposed on the appellants.
