Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 147, 448, and 323 IPC, affirming the High Court's dismissal of their appeal. The Court found sufficient evidence, including a dying declaration, to support the convictions, while noting that the acquittal of other co-accused was justified due to lack of evidence against them. The Court emphasized the importance of the dying declaration as a critical piece of evidence in establishing the guilt of the appellants.
