Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murders of Appalasamy and Appalanaidu, affirming the findings of the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The Court noted that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, established the culpability of the accused in a politically motivated attack. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower court's judgment regarding the direct involvement of the appellants in the homicides.
