Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Yashpal, establishing that the prosecution proved the motive stemming from election rivalry and the direct involvement of the appellants in the crime. The Court found that the evidence, including eyewitness testimonies and medical reports, sufficiently supported the trial court's findings. The appeal against the life imprisonment sentence was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment.
