Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for murder, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the Calcutta High Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the necessary ingredients of murder, including the intent and participation of the accused in the attack that led to the death of Nripen Debnath. The Court also noted that the conviction under Section 326 IPC was rightly set aside due to lack of evidence supporting that charge.
