Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for murder, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the trial court. The Court found that the prosecution had established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, supported by eyewitness testimony and medical evidence indicating multiple injuries on the deceased. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of their case were rejected, confirming the trial court's findings and sentences under Section 4/25 of the Arms Act as well.
