Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that had reversed the trial court's acquittal of the appellants in a murder case. The court found that the evidence presented was sufficient to convict the appellants under Sections 302, 392, 201, and 420 of the IPC. Consequently, the appellants were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Deepak, affirming the High Court's conviction.
