Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC, affirming that the evidence from eyewitnesses and dying declarations sufficiently established their culpability in the murder of Yanamandra Subba Rao. The Court emphasized that the presence of the accused at the scene and the motive stemming from a personal dispute were critical in affirming the trial court's findings. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the life sentences imposed by the lower courts.
