Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction and life imprisonment of the appellants under Sections 302, 324, and 448 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court established that the presence of multiple eyewitnesses and the nature of the injuries sustained by the victims were sufficient to support the conviction. The conflicting opinions of the Division Bench were resolved in favor of maintaining the trial court's findings, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
