Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the respondents under Sections 148, 302/149, 307/149, and 325/149 of the IPC for their involvement in the murder of Rajinder and the assault on Umrao and Rewti. The Court found that the evidence presented established a clear case of unlawful assembly and murder, rejecting the defense's claim that the deceased's injuries were due to a fall. The sentences of life imprisonment and additional rigorous imprisonment were affirmed, emphasizing the gravity of the offenses committed.
