Judgment text excerpt
The appellants challenged their conviction and sentencing for offences under Sections 147 and 302/149 of the Indian Penal Code. The High Court had previously overturned acquittals and upgraded a conviction from Section 304 Part II/149 to Section 302/149 IPC. The Supreme Court reviewed the evidence and the High Court's decision to impose life imprisonment on the appellants.
