Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Rajasthan High Court's acquittal of the respondents charged under Sections 302 and 201 read with Section 34 IPC, emphasizing that the prosecution's circumstantial evidence was substantial and reliable. The Court held that the High Court erred in finding the evidence doubtful and contradictory, as the prosecution had established a clear chain of events leading to the conviction. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the Sessions Court's verdict, affirming the life sentences imposed on the respondents.
