Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302 and 34 IPC for the murder of Anil, affirming the reliance on eyewitness testimonies and dying declarations. The Court found that the evidence presented by PWs. 2 and 3 was credible despite the defense's claims of false implication and prior convictions of some witnesses. The judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court was confirmed, reinforcing the principle that eyewitness accounts can be sufficient for conviction when corroborated by dying declarations.
