Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302, 148, 448, and 324 read with Section 149 IPC for certain accused while setting aside the convictions for others. The Court noted that the evidence presented did not support the prosecution's claims of premeditation or motive, leading to a distinction in treatment of the accused. The Court also referenced a prior judgment that altered the conviction from Section 302 IPC to Section 304 Part I IPC, establishing that the nature of involvement and evidence are critical in determining culpability.
