Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Messo and Raj Bala, establishing that the prosecution proved the motive and the presence of the accused at the crime scene. The Court emphasized that threats made by Sohan Lal prior to the murders were significant in establishing intent and premeditation. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the conviction was therefore rejected, affirming the lower court's findings.
