Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Mauji Yadav, affirming the findings of the Sessions Court that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt through eyewitness testimonies. The Court noted that the involvement of the appellants was clear, as one of them fired the fatal shot while another directed the attack, thus establishing their culpability. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of their criminal appeals was rejected, maintaining the sentences imposed by the lower courts.
