Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302 and 341 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Srinivasa Rao, rejecting their appeal on grounds of insufficient evidence. The Court noted that while P.W. 1 was not an eyewitness, corroborative testimonies from P.Ws. 2 and 3, despite some inconsistencies, established the involvement of the accused. The Court emphasized the importance of motive and the pattern of behavior of the accused, affirming the trial court's findings and dismissing the appeal.
