Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the acquittal of certain accused under Sections 148 and 302/149 IPC, following a conviction for murder and rioting. The Court held that the prosecution had established the unlawful assembly and the involvement of the accused in the murder of Gankidi Mohan Reddy, thus reversing the High Court's decision to acquit A2 to A11 of these charges. The Court emphasized the need for accountability in violent crimes and upheld the convictions under the relevant sections of the IPC.
