Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants for offences under Section 148 and Section 302 r/w Section 149 of the IPC, affirming the High Court's decision. The court found sufficient evidence from eyewitnesses, including the minor daughter and mother of the deceased, to support the conviction despite the trial court's rejection of some testimonies. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the importance of credible eyewitness accounts in criminal proceedings.
