Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302 and 364 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder and abduction of Neelam, affirming the Patna High Court's judgment which had convicted all seven accused. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the involvement of the accused in a premeditated crime, with sufficient evidence corroborating the informant's account. The appeal against the High Court's decision was dismissed, maintaining the life sentences imposed on the convicts.
