Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellants under Sections 326 IPC and 324/149 IPC for causing grievous and simple injuries, respectively. The Court found that the trial court's acquittal was erroneous due to reliance on the credibility of witnesses without considering the corroborative evidence. The Court affirmed the sentences imposed by the High Court, emphasizing the need for accountability in violent crimes and the sufficiency of eyewitness testimony despite the trial court's doubts.
