Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Prakash, establishing that the injuries inflicted were sufficient to cause death and were a direct result of the assault by the accused. The Court emphasized that the intent to kill can be inferred from the use of deadly weapons and the nature of the injuries. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision and the sentence imposed on the appellants.
