Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 and Section 201 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for the murder of Devaki, affirming the findings of the Trial Court and the High Court. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's case was based on a strong chain of circumstantial evidence, which consistently pointed to the guilt of the appellants. The Court found no merit in the appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' challenge to their conviction, thereby confirming the life sentences imposed.
