Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302, 376(2)(g), 148, 201, and 404 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the Punjab and Haryana High Court's judgment. The Court found that the prosecution had established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, particularly noting the evidence of the sole eyewitness and the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the deceased's body. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentences imposed by the High Court were upheld, while acquitting the appellants of charges under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.
