Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 364 and 302 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the life sentence for murder and a 10-year sentence for kidnapping. The Court found sufficient evidence linking the appellants to the crime, including eyewitness testimony and the recovery of the vehicle used in the commission of the offenses. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of their earlier appeals were therefore dismissed, confirming the lower court's rulings.
