Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the conviction of the respondents under Sections 148, 302 read with 149, and 307 IPC for the murder of Nasir Ahmad and his family. The Court upheld the Sessions Court's conviction of 15 accused, affirming that they formed an unlawful assembly with the intent to kill, and that the evidence supported the charges of murder and attempted murder. The appeal by the State of U.P. was allowed, reinstating the convictions and sentences imposed by the Sessions Court.
