Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 147 and 324 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for rioting and causing grievous hurt. The Court confirmed the findings of the lower courts, which had found sufficient evidence against the accused based on the testimonies of the injured and other witnesses. The Court held that the sentences imposed were appropriate given the nature of the offences, and dismissed the appeal against the conviction and sentence.
