Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the Appellants under Section 302/149 IPC for murder, Section 452 IPC for house trespass, and Section 148 IPC for rioting, affirming the life imprisonment and additional sentences imposed by the trial court. The Court found that the evidence, including eyewitness accounts and medical reports, corroborated the prosecution's case, and rejected the Appellants' claim of acting in self-defense. The Court concluded that the Appellants were guilty of the charges and dismissed their appeal against the High Court's decision.
