Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 302 IPC for murder, Section 201 IPC for causing disappearance of evidence, and Section 148 IPC for rioting with deadly weapons. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the presence of eyewitnesses and the motive behind the murder, which was linked to a prior enmity. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal was rejected, affirming the lower court's findings and sentences.
