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, affirming the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court. The court considered the arguments regarding the benefit of doubt due to the acquittal of two co-accused based on the same evidence, but ultimately found that the evidence presented was sufficient to support the conviction. The court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the circumstances surrounding the incident.
