Judgment text excerpt
The case involves appeals against the convictions and acquittals of multiple accused charged under Sections 148, 447, 302, 307, 323, and 149 of the IPC. The trial court convicted Atma Singh for murder and Bachint Singh for attempted murder, while acquitting others. The High Court subsequently dismissed the defendants' appeals and allowed the State's appeal against the acquittals, leading to the current challenge before the Supreme Court.
