Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the accused under Section 302 IPC for murder, Section 148 IPC for rioting, and Section 27 of the Arms Act, affirming life imprisonment for Raghunath Pandey and others under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC. The Court found that the prosecution established the presence of the accused at the scene and their armed assault on the deceased and others, leading to fatal injuries. The concurrent sentences were deemed appropriate given the gravity of the offenses committed.
