Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 148, 302 read with Section 149, and 324 read with Section 149 of the IPC, affirming the life sentences imposed on the appellants for their involvement in a mob attack that resulted in the death of the deceased. The Court found that the evidence presented, including witness testimonies and the sequence of events leading to the attack, sufficiently established the culpability of the accused. The High Court's decision to acquit some accused was also confirmed, highlighting the evidentiary basis for the convictions of the remaining appellants.
