Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Amardeep, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the Trial Court. The Court found sufficient evidence, including eyewitness accounts and circumstantial evidence, to establish the guilt of the appellants beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in murder cases, particularly when direct evidence is scarce, thereby reinforcing the legal principle that circumstantial evidence can be sufficient for conviction if it leads to a singular conclusion of guilt.
