Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Rajasthan High Court's acquittal of the respondents, reaffirming their conviction under Sections 148, 307, 302 IPC, and Section 3/25 of the Arms Act. The Court held that the evidence established the formation of an unlawful assembly with a common object to commit murder, resulting in the deaths of two individuals and injuries to others. The Court emphasized the importance of the FIR and eyewitness testimony in corroborating the prosecution's case, ultimately restoring the sentences imposed by the Additional Sessions Judge.
