Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Munnilal and Baldev, and under Section 307 IPC for the attempt to murder Narbadiya Bai and Amritlal. The Court confirmed the High Court's finding that the appellants were guilty of the charges, but modified their death sentence to rigorous imprisonment for life. The judgment emphasized the need to assess the actual role played by each accused in the violent incident, leading to the conviction of only specific individuals.
