Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants for murder and attempted murder under the Indian Penal Code, confirming the lower court's findings. The court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the involvement of the appellants in the violent attack that resulted in the death of Prakash. The appeals were dismissed, and the life sentences imposed by the trial court were affirmed.
