The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 147, 302, 323, and 325 read with Section 149 IPC for the murder of Thakurdin and causing grievous injuries to others. The Court found that the prosecution had established the presence of eyewitnesses and corroborative evidence, which was sufficient to prove the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The High Court's decision to set aside the acquittal was affirmed, leading to the conviction being upheld.
