Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 394 and Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the Delhi High Court's judgment. The Court established that the presence of multiple assailants and the use of weapons during the commission of robbery constituted a clear case of murder and robbery. The sentences of 10 years' imprisonment for robbery and life imprisonment for murder were confirmed, with fines imposed for both offences.
