Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Saddala Naganna, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the Sessions Court's ruling. The Court established that the evidence, including the post-mortem report detailing multiple lacerations and fractures, supported the finding of guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court held that the appellants acted in concert to inflict fatal injuries, leading to the death of the victim, and thus, the life imprisonment sentence was justified.
