Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Krishan, affirming the High Court's decision which found sufficient evidence despite discrepancies in witness testimonies. The Court noted that the acquittal of other co-accused did not absolve the appellants, as the evidence against them was compelling. The judgment emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in murder cases and the role of eyewitness accounts in establishing guilt.
