Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Suresh Yadav, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court noted the prosecution's reliance on eyewitness testimony and the FIR, which detailed the coordinated attack by the accused. The Court emphasized the importance of a thorough investigation, criticizing the initial handling of the case by the police, but ultimately found sufficient evidence to support the conviction and maintained the life sentences imposed.
