Gagan Kanojia & Anr vs State Of Punjab

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 364, 302, and 201 of the Indian Penal Code for the kidnapping and murder of two children. The Court found that the evidence, including extra-judicial confessions and witness testimonies, sufficiently established the guilt of the appellants despite challenges regarding the credibility of child witnesses and the admissibility of certain statements. The death penalty was not imposed as the case did not qualify as the 'rarest of rare' category, leading to a commutation of the sentence.
