Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302, 364, and 379 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's dismissal of their appeals. The Court reiterated that a retracted confession can be considered if corroborated by other evidence, and in this case, the confession was supported by the recovery of bodies and other circumstantial evidence. The Court found no merit in the appellants' arguments against the conviction, leading to the dismissal of their special leave petitions.
