Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Madras High Court's acquittal of the respondents, emphasizing that the trial court's conviction under Section 302 IPC was justified based on the evidence presented. The Court reiterated that the prosecution must establish the guilt beyond reasonable doubt, which was achieved in this case through eyewitness accounts and medical evidence. The Court held that the acquittal was erroneous and restored the conviction under Section 302 IPC, leading to the respondents' reinstated culpability for murder.
