Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC, affirming that there was intention to kill the deceased Savithri, as evidenced by the nature and severity of the injuries inflicted, which included extensive head trauma leading to death. The Court found no merit in the argument that the injuries were insufficient to warrant a murder charge, confirming the High Court's reasoning and the sentence imposed. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.
