Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of seven accused under Section 364 and Section 323 read with Section 149 IPC, while acquitting others of charges under Sections 302 and 201 IPC. The Court emphasized the importance of eyewitness testimony, particularly that of PW-10, which was deemed credible for the charges of kidnapping and causing hurt. The appeals by the State against the acquittal were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to uphold the convictions under the lesser charges.
