Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of the accused in the murder of Ram Lachhan and Rajendra, holding that the prosecution had established the formation of an unlawful assembly under Sections 302, 149, 148, and 147 IPC. The Court found that the accused had a common object to murder the victims, and the evidence supported the conviction of the eight accused sentenced to life imprisonment and additional terms for other offenses. The judgment emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and the circumstances surrounding the crime, leading to the reinstatement of the trial court's convictions.
