Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC for the murder of two individuals, affirming the life sentences and additional penalties imposed by the trial court and confirmed by the High Court. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the nature of the attack, established the culpability of the accused. The judgment reinforced the principle that participation in a premeditated attack leading to death constitutes murder under Section 302 IPC, and the appeals were dismissed, maintaining the lower court's decisions.
