Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Smt. Genda Devi, affirming the life sentences imposed by the Allahabad High Court. The Court found that the prosecution had established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, as the evidence demonstrated a clear motive linked to ongoing litigation. The appeal was dismissed, and the conviction was confirmed, with the Court noting the procedural adherence during the trial.
