Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of Ganesh K. Gulve and others under Sections 147, 148, 302, 307, and 452 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the life sentences imposed. The Court found that the High Court correctly reversed the trial court's acquittal, as the prosecution established the involvement of the accused in a violent crime resulting in multiple murders. The Court emphasized the sufficiency of evidence against the accused, rejecting claims of reasonable doubt regarding the prosecution's case.
