Judgment text excerpt
The appellants were originally acquitted by the Trial Court of charges under Sections 148, 302, and others of the IPC, but this acquittal was reversed by the High Court. The High Court convicted the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 and Section 148 of the IPC, sentencing them to life imprisonment. The appellants have approached the Supreme Court via appeal under Section 379 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to challenge the High Court's conviction and sentencing.
