Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the death sentence imposed on the accused-appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of three minors and Section 307 IPC for the attempted murder of the informant and his wife. The Court affirmed the High Court's view that the case falls under the 'rarest of the rare' category, justifying the extreme penalty. The Court found sufficient evidence to support the conviction and dismissed the appeal against the death sentence.
