Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 324 and 307 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the trial court's findings based on the testimony of injured witnesses. The Court rejected the argument regarding the absence of independent witnesses, noting the common reluctance of the public to testify in criminal cases. The Court emphasized that the evidence of injured witnesses is credible and sufficient to sustain the convictions, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
