Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the appellants' convictions under Sections 147, 148, 450, 302/149, 326/149, 325/149, 324/149, 323, 427, and 364 of the IPC, confirming the life imprisonment sentence. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the circumstances surrounding the crime, sufficiently established the appellants' involvement in the violent attack leading to the death of Bhebharam. The Court rejected the appellants' claims regarding inconsistencies in the prosecution's case and the reliability of witnesses.
