Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of the informant's husband, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court rejected the appellants' argument that the act constituted culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 304 IPC, emphasizing that the stabbing was intentional and not a result of a sudden fight. The Court confirmed the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the trial court, stating that the evidence supported the conviction beyond reasonable doubt.
