Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 364 IPC for kidnapping with intent to murder, affirming that the evidence presented sufficiently established the elements of the offense. The Court rejected the defense's argument that the prosecution failed to prove the intent to murder, stating that the circumstances indicated a clear motive and plan. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment and sentence of seven years rigorous imprisonment.
