Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Annamreddi Tatayya Naidu, affirming the findings of the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The Court noted that the testimonies of key witnesses were disbelieved by the trial court due to inconsistencies and lack of corroborative evidence. The Court emphasized that the presence of enmity between the parties and the circumstances surrounding the incident supported the conviction, thereby dismissing the appeal against the judgment of the lower courts.
