Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of G. Venkatesh (A-1) and J. Ramulu (A-2) under Section 302 IPC and Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of G. Janardhan, affirming the life sentences imposed by the lower courts. The Court found sufficient evidence of premeditated murder stemming from disputes over a partnership in a rice mill, with the act of throwing acid constituting a clear intent to kill. The appeals were dismissed, confirming the High Court's judgment and the trial court's findings.
