Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 302/149, 323/149, 147, and 148 of the IPC, affirming life imprisonment and additional sentences for rioting and assault. The Court found that the prosecution had established the presence and active participation of the accused in the mob attack on the deceased, Umrao and Juggey, and that the High Court's findings were supported by credible eyewitness testimony. The Court dismissed the appeals, confirming the sentences imposed by the trial court and the High Court.
