Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 120B and Section 302 IPC for the murder of Ms. Rajalakshmi, establishing that the prosecution proved the conspiracy and the murder beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including testimonies regarding the deceased's harassment and the circumstances surrounding her death, was sufficient to support the convictions. The appeal against the High Court's reversal of the trial court's acquittal was dismissed, affirming the life sentences imposed on the appellants.
