Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 148 and 307 IPC, affirming that the prosecution successfully proved the case against them despite the defense's claims of self-defense. The Court noted that the plea of alibi was not credible and that the injuries sustained by the victim, Hari Singh, were severe, including the amputation of his left hand. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, supported the prosecution's version of events, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
