Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Dheeraj Verma and Deepak Verma under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Kamini Verma, establishing that the prosecution successfully proved the intent and execution of the crime through eyewitness testimony and medical evidence. The Court emphasized that the use of a firearm in a domestic setting constituted a grave offense, warranting the upheld sentence. The appeal against the High Court's decision was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings and the severity of the crime committed.
