Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302, 307, and 452 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the life sentences imposed by the Trial Court. The Court found that the evidence of eye-witnesses, particularly injured witnesses, was credible and did not suffer from contradictions that would undermine the prosecution's case. The Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appeal was justified, as the evidence presented was clear and cogent, supporting the conviction for murder and grievous hurt.
