Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of the accused under Sections 302, 364, 201, and 120B IPC, emphasizing that the prosecution had established a clear case of murder and conspiracy. The Court reiterated that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, was sufficient to uphold the convictions. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the original convictions and sentences imposed by the Trial Court were restored, reaffirming the legal principle that circumstantial evidence can be compelling when corroborated by eyewitness testimony.
