Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 364, 302, 201, and 120-B of the IPC, affirming the High Court's decision that the evidence, including eyewitness testimony and circumstantial evidence, sufficiently established the guilt of the appellants. The Court emphasized the importance of corroborating evidence and the admissibility of CCTV footage under Section 65B of the Evidence Act, ruling that the prosecution's reliance on discovery statements was valid in this context. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the life sentences imposed by the lower courts.
