Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, affirming the findings of the Allahabad High Court. The Court established that the prosecution successfully proved the elements of conspiracy and intent to kill, as the appellants had a motive stemming from prior enmity with the deceased. The appeal was dismissed, and the convictions were maintained, reinforcing the legal principle that circumstantial evidence can substantiate a conviction when direct evidence is unavailable.
