Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that had set aside the Trial Court's acquittal of the appellant under Sections 148 and 302 IPC. The Court found that the Trial Court's reasoning regarding the lack of direct evidence for a common object and the credibility of eyewitnesses was flawed. The Court held that the prosecution had established the appellant's involvement in the unlawful assembly and the murder of Ramgopal, leading to a conviction under the cited sections.
