Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the acquittal of the respondents charged under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of the deceased. The Court found that the High Court erred in acquitting the respondents, as the evidence established their involvement in the grievous injuries leading to death, thus holding that the conviction under Sections 325/34 and 326/34 IPC was warranted. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, reinstating the conviction and sentences imposed by the Sessions Court.
