Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Raju Naik under Section 148 IPC, confirming the Rajasthan High Court's judgment which found him guilty of participating in a mob attack that resulted in the murder of Ram Kishan Khandelwal. The Court noted that the appellant was part of a larger conspiracy involving multiple accused, and emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony and circumstantial evidence in establishing guilt. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings and the sentence imposed.
