Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 302/149, 148, and 323 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the life sentences imposed for the murders of Chao Khan and Baddal, along with additional sentences for rioting and causing injuries. The Court found that the prosecution had established a clear case of conspiracy and rioting leading to murder, rejecting the appellants' claims of innocence. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the High Court's decision to uphold the convictions and sentences.
