Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court. The Court found that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt through credible witness testimony, particularly that of PW-6, who identified the appellants as the perpetrators of the murder. The Court emphasized the importance of direct evidence in murder cases and confirmed that the appellants acted in concert to commit the crime.
