Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302, 376(2)(g), and 449 IPC, affirming the capital punishment and life imprisonment sentences imposed by the lower courts. The Court found that the prosecution had sufficiently established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, despite challenges regarding witness credibility and evidence reliability. The Court emphasized the importance of the sole witness's testimony and the corroborative evidence presented, ultimately rejecting the appellants' claims of false implication and lack of linking evidence.
