Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 302 and 149 IPC for the seven accused involved in the unlawful assembly that led to the death of Adusumalli Ranga Rao. The Court emphasized that the formation of an unlawful assembly and the collective action of the accused were critical in establishing their culpability. The appeal against the High Court's judgment was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings and the sentences imposed on the accused.
