Judgment text excerpt
The appellants challenged convictions under Sections 302, 307, 147, and 148 read with Section 149 of the IPC arising from a violent dispute over agricultural land. The High Court had modified the trial court's judgment, convicting the second accused of murder (Section 302) while convicting the other appellants of causing grievous hurt (Section 326) and rioting. The Supreme Court reviewed the evidence concerning the common object of the unlawful assembly and the specific roles played by each accused during the attack.
