Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which modified the Trial Court's conviction under Section 302/149 IPC. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, particularly from the complainant and corroborating witnesses, established the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court also noted the acquittal of one accused, Ramesh Sahu, due to lack of reliable evidence against him, while maintaining the life sentences for the remaining appellants.
