Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302 and 506(II) IPC for the murder of Sultan Meeran, establishing that the act was premeditated and motivated by religious animosity. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently demonstrated the appellants' intent and actions leading to the murder. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the criminal appeal was therefore rejected, affirming the lower court's decision.
