Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's decision that had set aside the conviction of the respondents under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC and Section 201 IPC. The Court held that the evidence presented, including the identification of the deceased's body and the testimonies of witnesses, was sufficient to uphold the conviction. The Court emphasized that the absence of injuries on the body does not negate the possibility of murder, and the motive established was adequate to support the conviction, leading to the reinstatement of life sentences for the accused.
