Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 of the IPC for murder, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the Madhya Pradesh High Court.

The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the lower courts' findings regarding the brutal nature of the crime and the intent of the appellants.
