Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for murder, Section 397 IPC for robbery, and Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, affirming the life sentence and fines imposed by the Sessions Judge. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the sequence of events, sufficiently established the guilt of the appellants beyond reasonable doubt. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of their appeals was dismissed, maintaining the lower court's rulings.
