Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 302, 307, and 148 of the IPC, affirming the life sentences and additional rigorous imprisonment imposed by the trial court. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the context of prior animosity, sufficiently established the culpability of the accused in the premeditated attack that resulted in two fatalities. The judgment of the Allahabad High Court dismissing the appeal was thus confirmed.
