Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused-appellants under Sections 302 and 201 IPC for the murder of Manoj, establishing that the prosecution proved the guilt beyond reasonable doubt through circumstantial evidence. The Court affirmed the life imprisonment sentence and fines imposed by the High Court, emphasizing the sufficiency of evidence linking the accused to the crime. The judgment reinforces the principle that circumstantial evidence can be adequate for conviction if it leads to a singular conclusion of guilt.
