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 for their involvement in a violent attack resulting in death. The Court noted that the prosecution established the presence of the accused at the scene and their active participation in the assault, which was premeditated. The appeals by the State of Haryana and the complainant for enhancement of sentences and compensation were also considered, but the Court maintained the original sentences as just and appropriate.
