Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the appeals against the Punjab & Haryana High Court's judgment concerning the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302, 307, and 353 of the IPC. The Court emphasized that the prosecution must establish the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt, particularly in light of the alleged coercion in obtaining confessions. The Court ultimately upheld the conviction of the appellants, affirming the lower court's findings and emphasizing the importance of corroborative evidence in criminal cases.
