Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the acquittal of the respondents by the Delhi High Court, reinstating their convictions under Sections 302/149, 436/149, 395, 147, and 148 of the IPC for their involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The Court emphasized that the High Court erred in disbelieving eyewitness testimonies and misjudged the trauma experienced by the victims, stating that the absence of corpus delicti does not negate the evidence of the mob's actions. The Court held that the evidence presented was sufficient to uphold the convictions, thereby ensuring justice for the victims of the riots.
