Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's acquittal of several accused in a murder case, emphasizing the applicability of Section 120B IPC concerning criminal conspiracy. The Court established that the prosecution had sufficiently demonstrated the involvement of the accused in a premeditated attack resulting in multiple fatalities. The judgment reinstated the trial court's conviction, affirming the necessity of accountability for orchestrating violence under the IPC.
