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 appellants' involvement in a premeditated attack stemming from longstanding enmity within a family feud. The concurrent sentences were deemed appropriate given the gravity of the offenses committed.
