The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sant Lal and Fatta Ram under Sections 302 and 323 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the trial court's findings that the prosecution proved the charges against them beyond reasonable doubt. The Court noted that the acquittal of Bira @ Bhira by the High Court did not affect the culpability of the other two accused, as the evidence against them was substantial. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the corroborative medical evidence in establishing the case against the convicted accused.
