Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the Appellants under Section 302 IPC read with Sections 34 and 148 IPC, affirming the High Court's reversal of the trial court's acquittal. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and the nature of the injuries sustained by the deceased, established the Appellants' involvement in a premeditated attack resulting in murder. The Court emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in such cases, leading to the conclusion that the Appellants were rightly convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.
