Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the death penalty for Digambar and life imprisonment for Mohan, confirming the Bombay High Court's decision. The court found that Digambar, motivated by jealousy over his sister Pooja's affair with Govind, orchestrated the murder of Govind. The judgment emphasized the gravity of the crime and the need for deterrence in cases involving premeditated murder.
