Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the appellants who were convicted under Section 326 IPC instead of Section 302 IPC, noting that they had already received a lenient sentence which was further reduced by the High Court to the time already served. The Court upheld the concurrent findings of fact from the lower courts, indicating no grounds for interference. The judgment reinforces the principle that appellate courts should respect concurrent factual findings unless there are compelling reasons to overturn them.
