Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 148, 302/149, and 323/149 of the Indian Penal Code, affirming the life sentence for murder and additional sentences for unlawful assembly and causing hurt. The Court found that the evidence of eyewitnesses was credible and sufficient to establish the guilt of the appellants, who had formed an unlawful assembly and committed murder. The appeal against the Madhya Pradesh High Court's judgment was dismissed, reinforcing the lower court's findings on the facts and law.
