Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals arising from a High Court judgment concerning charges under Sections 147, 148, and 302 IPC. The Court noted that while the trial court convicted certain accused under Section 302/149 IPC, no charge was framed against the appellants under this section. The Court held that the conviction was unsustainable due to the lack of proper charges and evidence, leading to the acquittal of the appellants. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the convictions were set aside.
