The appellants challenged their conviction and life imprisonment under Section 302 of the IPC following a judgment by the High Court which had acquitted six co-accused and commuted a death sentence. The legal issue pertains to the assessment of evidence and the determination of guilt in a case involving multiple accused charged with murder and rioting. The Court examined the findings of the lower courts regarding the liability of the appellants for the death of the victim.
