The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC and Section 147 IPC, affirming the life sentences and six months rigorous imprisonment imposed by the High Court. The Court found that the appellants were part of an unlawful assembly with the common object of committing murder, and their actions contributed to the assault on the deceased. The Court dismissed the appeal, reinforcing the High Court's findings regarding the evidence of complicity of the accused.
