Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 148, 302 Part II, 325, 324, and 323 read with Section 149 IPC, affirming the sentences awarded to the appellants. The Court noted that the acquittal of certain accused for the main charge under Section 302 IPC was challenged by the State of Haryana and the complainant, but the evidence presented was deemed sufficient to maintain the convictions. The Court emphasized the importance of collective culpability in cases involving multiple accused under Section 149 IPC.
