Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302/149, 147, 148, and 307/149 IPC, affirming the life imprisonment sentence for the primary accused involved in a violent altercation resulting in murder. The Court emphasized that the presence of multiple armed individuals and the use of firearms constituted a clear case of unlawful assembly with a common intention to commit murder. The judgment confirmed the lower court's findings based on eyewitness testimonies and the circumstances surrounding the incident, thereby rejecting the appeals of the convicted individuals.
