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 sentences and fines imposed by the Sessions Judge. The Court reiterated that the prosecution must establish the elements of these offences beyond a reasonable doubt, which was satisfied in this case. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of their appeals were dismissed, confirming the lower court's findings and sentences.
