Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Anjan Dasgupta and Biswanath Paul under Section 302/34 IPC for the murder of Debol Kumar Ghosh, affirming the Calcutta High Court's reversal of the acquittal by the Additional Sessions Judge. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the involvement of the accused in a premeditated attack, supported by eyewitness accounts and circumstantial evidence. The appeal was dismissed, and the life sentence along with a fine of Rs. 2000 was maintained.
