Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of four individuals under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC for the murder of Kamal Kumar and Om Prakash, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony, particularly that of Radhey Shyam, who identified the accused during the incident. The judgment reinforced the principle that a conviction can be based on credible eyewitness accounts, even in the absence of corroborative evidence from other sources.
