Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 302 IPC read with Section 34 IPC and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, 1959, reversing the trial court's acquittal. The Court established that the prosecution successfully proved the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, as they acted in concert to commit the murder of Hans Raj. The life sentence for the murder was affirmed, along with shorter sentences for the Arms Act violations.
