Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 364, 302, 307 read with Section 120B IPC, affirming the High Court's decision that the appellants were involved in the abduction and murder of Jaswinder Kaur. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, sufficiently established the guilt of the appellants. The appeals were dismissed, and the sentences were confirmed, reinforcing the principle that abduction leading to murder constitutes a serious offense under Indian law.
