Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Saikat Saha, affirming the life imprisonment sentence and a fine of five thousand rupees imposed by the lower courts. The Court found that the prosecution established the case beyond reasonable doubt through credible witness testimony, particularly from PW-6, who directly identified the appellants as the assailants. The Court dismissed the appellants' claims of inconsistencies in witness statements as insufficient to overturn the conviction.
