Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of twelve accused under Sections 302 and 201 read with Section 149 IPC for their involvement in a mob attack resulting in multiple deaths. The Court found that the prosecution had established the formation of an unlawful assembly and the involvement of the accused in the crime, despite the defense's claims regarding the credibility of eyewitnesses and the absence of independent witnesses. The convictions and sentences imposed by the lower courts were confirmed, affirming the life imprisonment and fines imposed on the accused.
