Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 148, 302 read with Section 149, and 323/149 of the IPC, affirming the findings of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Court established that the use of 'Lathis' in a group attack constituted a clear case of unlawful assembly leading to murder, and the acquittal of co-accused Bhagmal was found to be justified based on the evidence. The Court dismissed the appeal, maintaining the appellants' convictions and sentences.
