Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 324 IPC for the murder of Gorelal and attempted murder of others, affirming the High Court's reversal of the trial court's acquittal. The Court found that the prosecution's evidence, including consistent eyewitness accounts, established the appellant's involvement in the unlawful assembly and the commission of the crimes. The Court rejected the appellant's claims of alibi and discrepancies in witness testimonies, concluding that the evidence was sufficient to uphold the conviction.
