Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's judgment, reinstating the conviction of the respondents under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Rashmi. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including the circumstances of the crime and the identification of the accused, sufficiently established their guilt. The Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the Sessions Court's decision, thus affirming the life imprisonment sentence.
