Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 302 and 149 IPC, as well as Sections 148 and 323/149 IPC, affirming the life sentence and additional terms of imprisonment imposed by the lower courts. The Court found that the evidence presented established the involvement of the appellants in a group attack leading to the death of the deceased, thus satisfying the requirements for conviction under the cited sections. The concurrent sentences were deemed appropriate given the nature of the crime and the involvement of multiple accused.
