Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's judgment acquitting the respondents of murder charges under Section 302 IPC, which had reversed the Special Judge's conviction and death sentence. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, established the respondents' guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Supreme Court reinstated the conviction and death sentence, affirming the trial court's findings and the gravity of the crime committed.
