Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302 and 120-B IPC for the murder of Sant Kumar Sinha, affirming the lower court's findings that the appellants conspired and executed the murder with premeditation. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the nature of the attack, established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The appeals were dismissed, and the life sentences were confirmed, reinforcing the principle that conspiratorial intent can be inferred from the actions of the accused.
