Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including Section 307 read with Section 149 IPC, Section 325 read with Section 149 IPC, and Section 148 IPC, confirming the High Court's decision. The Court found the evidence of the injured eyewitnesses credible and corroborated by medical evidence. However, considering the period already undergone in custody, the Court reduced the sentences to the time served, allowing the appeal in part.
