Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Andhra Pradesh High Court's acquittal of the respondents under Sections 302 and 120-B IPC for the murder of G. Arulmozhi, establishing that the evidence presented was sufficient to uphold the conviction. The Court emphasized that the trial court's findings were based on credible witness testimonies and forensic evidence, which demonstrated the culpability of the accused. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the trial court.
