Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Narendra Singh, affirming the High Court's dismissal of their appeal. The Court found that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts and medical testimony, sufficiently established the involvement of the accused in the crime, countering the defense's argument of mere suspicion. The Court emphasized that the prosecution had proven the case beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the affirmation of life imprisonment and fines imposed by the trial court.
