Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the acquittal of the accused by the High Court was erroneous, as the evidence presented by eyewitnesses was credible and corroborated. The Court emphasized that the formation of an unlawful assembly and the subsequent murder of Sheo Ram and Mool Chand were established under Sections 302, 34, and 149 IPC. The Court overturned the High Court's decision, reinstating the convictions and sentences imposed by the trial court, including life imprisonment for the main accused.
