Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302/149, 147, and 148 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the trial court's reliance on eyewitness testimony despite the absence of a post-mortem report. The Court noted that the prosecution's evidence, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the guilt of the appellants in the murder of Mansha. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the life sentences and additional terms of imprisonment imposed by the lower courts.
