Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/149 IPC and Section 148 IPC, affirming the High Court's reversal of the Trial Court's acquittal. The Court found the testimonies of two eyewitnesses, Poolpandi and Marriammal, to be consistent and corroborated by medical evidence, concluding that the Trial Court's acquittal was perverse. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the sentences were maintained.
