Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the brutal murder of Bhoomi @ Richa, emphasizing the sufficiency of circumstantial evidence linking them to the crime. The Court reiterated that in cases of murder, the prosecution must establish a clear motive and the presence of the accused at the crime scene, which was satisfied in this case. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to uphold the lower court's conviction and sentence.
