Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302/149, 323/149, and 148 IPC for the murder of Jharmal and Juhru, affirming the trial court's findings that the appellants acted in concert with a common intention to commit murder. The Court emphasized the importance of the First Information Report and the corroborative evidence presented, which established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The appeals were dismissed, and the sentences of rigorous imprisonment for life were maintained, along with fines imposed under the respective sections.
