Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302 and 364 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the life imprisonment and fines imposed by the trial court. The Court found sufficient evidence linking the appellants to the abduction and murder of the victim, Jagram, including the recovery of a rope used in the crime. The judgment emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in establishing guilt beyond reasonable doubt, thereby affirming the lower court's findings and dismissing the appeals.
