Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's judgment that acquitted several accused under various sections of the IPC, including Section 302 read with Section 149 and Section 324 read with Section 149. The Court confirmed the High Court's decision to reduce the conviction of certain accused from Section 452 read with Section 149 to Section 452 read with Section 34, and set aside the convictions of others. The outcome affirmed the High Court's acquittals and modifications of sentences, emphasizing the need for clear evidence in criminal convictions under IPC provisions.
