Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 of the IPC for the murder of two individuals. The court examined the arguments regarding the acquittal of two co-accused on the basis of the same evidence and found that the inconsistencies in eyewitness testimonies did not warrant overturning the conviction. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the life sentence and fine imposed by the lower courts.
