Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Rajasthan High Court's acquittal of the respondents, emphasizing the importance of credible witness testimony in criminal cases. The Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the evidence presented by the prosecution, which included multiple eyewitness accounts and corroborating documents. The Court reinstated the convictions under Section 302 IPC and Section 3(2)(5) of the SC/ST Act, affirming the life sentences imposed by the trial court.
