Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Gayatri Devi, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court established that the prosecution successfully proved the presence of the accused at the scene and their involvement in the violent incident, which resulted in the death of the victim. The Court also noted the use of firearms and lathis by the accused, leading to the conclusion that the actions constituted a premeditated attack, justifying the life sentences imposed by the lower courts.
