Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 147, 149, 304 Part II, and 201 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the trial court's sentence of six years rigorous imprisonment and a fine. The Court found that the testimonies of witnesses were credible despite claims of inconsistencies, and the evidence sufficiently established the involvement of the accused in the murder. The appeal was dismissed, and the court noted that the appeal against two deceased appellants abated.
