Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 147, 148, and 302 read with 149 IPC for the murder of three individuals during a shooting incident. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony, despite the murder of the primary witness, and found sufficient corroborative evidence to support the convictions. The appeal against acquittal of other accused was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
