Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Umesh Tukaram Padwal and another for multiple offences including cheating under Section 420 IPC and murder under Sections 364 and 302 IPC. The court found that the High Court had rightly confirmed the lower court's judgment, establishing that the appellants had acted with a common intention to abduct and murder the deceased. The evidence presented was deemed sufficient to support the convictions, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
