Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants for murder under Section 302 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which had confirmed the trial court's judgment. The court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the guilt of the accused. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, and the life imprisonment sentences were maintained.
