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, including Raina Bai and others, was credible and sufficient to establish the guilt of the appellants in the murder of Babulal. The Court dismissed the appeal, confirming the High Court's judgment which had previously upheld the trial court's findings.
