Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of accused Nos. 1 to 9 under Section 302/149 IPC and Section 148 IPC, affirming the High Court's finding that the evidence of P.Ws. 1, 2, and 4 was consistent and credible. The Court dismissed the appeals of the accused, stating that the trial court's reliance on these witnesses was justified despite the disbelieving of other witnesses. The Court found no merit in the arguments presented by the appellants and ordered them to surrender to custody to serve their sentences.
