Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 147, 448, and 323 IPC, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the appeal by the appellants. The Court noted that the convictions were primarily based on the dying declaration and corroborative evidence from the FIR, establishing the presence of the accused during the commission of the offences. The Court found sufficient evidence against the appellants, leading to the conclusion that the trial court's findings were justified and the appeal was dismissed.
