Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 120-B, 302, and 34 IPC, affirming life imprisonment for the appellants. The Court found that the delay in lodging the FIR did not undermine the prosecution's case, as the evidence presented, including the extra-judicial confession, was sufficient to establish guilt. The Court emphasized that the extra-judicial confession was corroborated by other evidence, and the acquittal of a co-accused did not negate the culpability of the appellants.
