Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sanaullah Khan under Section 364 IPC for kidnapping and murder, affirming the Patna High Court's decision. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the chain of events leading to the deaths of Ravindra Prasad and Sunny Kumar, supported by the recovery of incriminating evidence. The Court held that the evidence presented was sufficient to prove the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal.
