Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning convictions under Sections 302, 307, 304 Part I IPC, and Section 25/27 of the Arms Act. The Court held that the High Court's mechanical acceptance of a Criminal Revision by a private party against an acquittal was improper, as such revisions cannot lead to convictions. The Court affirmed the High Court's conviction of A-2 under Sections 302 and 307 IPC and A-1 under Sections 302/34 and 307/34 IPC, while also addressing procedural rights under Section 380 CrPC regarding appeals by co-accused.
