This criminal appeal (No. 1689 of 2000) was filed by accused-appellants Sobaran and Others before the Allahabad High Court, challenging the Trial Court's judgment dated 19.07.2000 convicting them in connection with the murders of deceased Sobaran (son of informant Hariram) and Awadhesh on 12.12.1996 in District Farrukhabad, U.P. The prosecution alleged that the accused, motivated by enmity arising from a prior snake-bite death dispute, attacked and killed the two victims with sharp-edged weapons (Gadasa and Takora), causing multiple severe incised wounds. The postmortem examination confirmed death due to haemorrhage and shock from ante-mortem injuries, and the murder weapons were recovered on the pointing out of the arrested accused. The Trial Court found the accused guilty under Sections 148 and 302 read with Section 149 IPC; the High Court judgment text as provided records the background and evidence but does not set out the final appellate order in the excerpt supplied.
