The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder and Section 323 IPC for causing hurt, affirming the life sentence and six months' rigorous imprisonment imposed by the trial court. The Court emphasized that the evidence of the injured witnesses was credible and corroborated the prosecution's case. The judgment of the Allahabad High Court was confirmed, and the acquittal of co-accused Leela Singh was not challenged.
