Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 147, 148, and 302 read with Section 149 IPC for the double murder of Nisar Ahmad and Nabi Rasool. The Court emphasized that the presence of the accused at the scene, along with the nature of the injuries inflicted, established a common intention to commit murder. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision and the sentences imposed on the accused.
