Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302, 120B, and 201 IPC, affirming that circumstantial evidence can establish guilt if all facts are incompatible with innocence. The Court reiterated that the prosecution must prove circumstances beyond reasonable doubt, closely linking them to the principal fact. The High Court's judgment was supported, and the appeal was dismissed, confirming the trial court's findings.
