Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Deepak, rejecting the trial Court's acquittal. The Court found that the evidence of eyewitnesses, corroborated by medical findings of asphyxia due to throttling, established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that the High Court had rightly overturned the trial Court's decision, which was not based on sound reasoning.
