Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of Suraj Bhan (A-1), Balraj (A-2), Ram Niwas (A-3), and Rajender Singh (A-4) under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Dinesh, affirming the High Court's decision that the evidence of wrongful confinement and subsequent murder was compelling. The Court emphasized that the act of inserting a wooden stick into the victim's anus constituted a brutal and heinous crime, warranting the life sentences imposed. The acquittals of A-5 and A-7 were also confirmed, as the evidence against them was insufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
