Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of 5-year-old Bharat Singh and Section 201 IPC for concealing the dead body. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the necessary elements of murder, including the presence of ante mortem injuries consistent with strangulation and blunt force trauma. The appeal against the life sentence was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to maintain the conviction and sentence.
