Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 147, 148, 302/149, and 452 of the Indian Penal Code for the murder of Ramdas, affirming the Bombay High Court's decision. The Court established that the presence of multiple accused and the use of deadly weapons indicated a premeditated attack, satisfying the requirements for a conviction under Section 302 IPC. The appeals were dismissed, and the convictions were maintained despite the death of some accused during the proceedings.
