Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that had set aside the acquittal of the appellants under Sections 148, 302, and 324 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code. The Court established that the prosecution had successfully proven the involvement of the appellants in the murders of Lakhan and Ramvati, as well as the injuries caused to other witnesses. The Court held that the evidence presented was sufficient to uphold the convictions, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
