Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's acquittal of the respondents in Criminal Appeal No.2866/1980, reinstating the Sessions Court's conviction under Sections 302/34, 307/34, and 379/34 of the IPC. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the sequence of events, established the respondents' culpability in the murder and attempted murder. The Court held that the High Court erred in its assessment of the evidence, leading to a reversal of the acquittal and reinstatement of the original sentences.
