Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302 and 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Lakhan Singh and the grievous injury to Jagdish. The Court found the eyewitness testimony of Babu Singh credible, as he had no animosity towards the accused, and the dying declaration made by Jagdish was deemed reliable. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to maintain the conviction.
