Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Sushila, rejecting the trial court's acquittal. The Court emphasized the validity of the dying declarations made by the victim, which were corroborated by the circumstances of the case, and found that the High Court correctly re-evaluated the evidence. The Court held that the prosecution had established the guilt of the appellants beyond reasonable doubt, affirming the life sentence imposed by the High Court.
