Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 364 IPC for kidnapping and murder, affirming that the evidence presented established the intent to murder Suraj Pal Singh. The Court found that the prosecution witnesses were credible and their identification of the accused was reliable despite the defense's claims of insufficient lighting and delay in filing the FIR. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal was rejected, confirming the trial court's sentence of seven years rigorous imprisonment.
