Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 147, 148, and 302 read with 149 IPC for the murder of three individuals during a shooting incident. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony, despite the murder of the primary witness during the trial, and found sufficient corroborative evidence to establish the guilt of the accused. The appeals against acquittal were dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
