Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Rajji, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the Trial Court. The Court found sufficient evidence from eyewitnesses Sarabjit Kaur and Ram Lubhaya, who testified to the overt acts of the appellants in inflicting fatal injuries on the deceased. The Court dismissed the appeals, stating that there were no grounds to interfere with the concurrent findings of the lower courts.
