Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Rammo under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Ram Babu, affirming that he acted as part of an unlawful assembly. The Court found sufficient evidence from eyewitness Kedarnath, who testified that Rammo fired shots during the incident. However, the Court noted that the convictions of A-3 and A-4 under Section 302 read with Section 49 IPC were not supported by clear evidence of their involvement in the murder, leading to a partial acquittal for them.
