Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Tarit Kundu, Sahadeb Sarkar, and Sasthi Sarkar under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Raju Bose, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the testimonies of witnesses PW 2, PW 3, and PW 5, along with medical evidence, established the involvement of the accused in a coordinated attack leading to the victim's death. The Court emphasized the sufficiency of evidence linking the accused to the crime, thereby rejecting their appeal against conviction.
