Judgment text excerpt
The Assam High Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Khalilur Rehman, confirming the trial court's findings based on the testimonies of eyewitnesses PW.1 and PW.3, who were the wife and daughter of the deceased. The court found that the evidence presented established the common intention to commit murder, despite the defense's argument regarding the absence of names in the FIR. The High Court ruled that the trial court's reliance on the eyewitness accounts was justified, leading to the affirmation of the conviction and sentence.
