Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 147, 148, and 302/149 IPC for the murder of Ramdas, affirming the Bombay High Court's decision. The Court established that the presence of multiple assailants and the use of deadly weapons constituted a clear case of unlawful assembly and murder in furtherance of a common intention. The appeals were dismissed, and the convictions were maintained despite the death of some accused during the proceedings.
