Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of A1 to A4, A14, A15, and A18 under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC for murder, affirming the life sentence imposed by the Sessions Court. The Court noted that the acquittal of A5 to A13, A16, and A17 by the High Court was challenged by the complainant and the State of Kerala, but the appeals were dismissed. The Court emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in establishing the guilt of the accused in a murder case, particularly in instances involving multiple assailants.
