Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Bhagirath, finding that the evidence, including medical reports, corroborated the specific injuries inflicted by the appellants. The Court noted that the Sessions Court's conviction was based on the clear identification of injuries caused by the appellants, with Vijay Singh inflicting a fatal injury with a ballam and Hari Singh using a farsa. The High Court's confirmation of the conviction and life sentence was also upheld, affirming the findings of the lower courts.
