In Brief
The appellants were convicted of murdering two persons under Section 302 IPC (murder). The prosecution's case was that a dispute over a buffalo calf led to a violent confrontation in which the appellants, armed with weapons, attacked and fatally injured the victims. The appellants challenged their conviction, arguing one was not named in the FIR and had no motive. The Supreme Court upheld the conviction, finding eyewitness evidence established the appellants' specific violent acts and the nature of injuries—extensive cuts to the head, face and neck—demonstrated clear intention to kill. The concurrent findings of the Trial Court and High Court were sustained. Appeal dismissed."
