Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Nazakat Ali, affirming the trial court's findings based on the testimonies of three eyewitnesses and medical evidence. The Court rejected the appellants' arguments regarding the credibility of the witnesses and the lack of motive, stating that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal was dismissed, and the life sentences imposed by the lower courts were confirmed.
