Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the appeal of Bhaktu Gorain and Bandhu Gorain against their conviction and life sentence for a crime committed in 1993. The Court reviewed the trial and appellate court judgments, which affirmed the conviction, and considered the procedural history of the case. The appeal was limited to these two accused after others' appeals were dismissed. The Court's decision focused on the legality and sufficiency of evidence supporting the conviction, ultimately upholding the lower courts' rulings.
