Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302/34 IPC for the murder of Vinod Kumar, affirming the lower courts' findings that the evidence presented, including eyewitness testimonies, was sufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court rejected the appellants' claims of false implication and lack of independent witnesses, emphasizing that the delay in FIR filing did not undermine the prosecution's case. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal was therefore dismissed, maintaining the life sentence imposed by the Sessions Court.
