Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants for murder under Section 302 and destruction of evidence under Section 201 of the IPC. The court found that the High Court had correctly dismissed the appeal against the conviction and sentence imposed by the Sessions Court. The evidence presented was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the affirmation of life imprisonment and fines imposed.
