Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 148, 302/149, and 307/149 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the life sentence and concurrent ten-year imprisonment for their roles in a double murder. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, sufficiently established the guilt of the appellants. The judgment of the Allahabad High Court was confirmed, reinforcing the legal principle that eyewitness testimony, when corroborated by medical evidence, can be decisive in criminal cases.
