Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Sayeeda, establishing that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt the involvement of the accused in the crime, including the use of knives and the infliction of multiple injuries leading to death. The Court emphasized that the presence of eyewitnesses and the immediate nature of the attack were critical in affirming the lower court's decision. The appeals were dismissed, confirming the sentences imposed by the High Court and the Sessions Court.
