Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the case under Section 302 IPC concerning the murder of Rajmohan and Niranjan Singh, emphasizing the importance of oral dying declarations and eyewitness accounts. The Court held that the evidence presented, including the motive rooted in a land dispute and the recovery of weapons, sufficiently established the guilt of the accused under Section 34 IPC for committing murder in furtherance of a common intention. The judgment affirmed the conviction of the accused, highlighting the credibility of the testimonies despite the familial enmity involved.
