Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302, 376(2)(g), and 449 IPC, affirming the capital punishment awarded to the appellants. The court found that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt, despite challenges regarding witness credibility and evidence linking the accused to the crime. The court emphasized the importance of the sole witness's testimony and the corroborative evidence presented, ultimately confirming the High Court's judgment.
