Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 148 and 307 IPC, affirming that the prosecution proved the case beyond reasonable doubt despite some inconsistencies in witness testimonies. The Court rejected the appellants' claims of self-defense and false implication, finding that the evidence supported the prosecution's narrative of a premeditated attack on PW-1 Hari Singh. The Court emphasized the importance of corroborative eyewitness accounts in establishing the guilt of the appellants, leading to the dismissal of their appeal.
